Amy Winehouse - What it is - Lyrics

What it is was written by Amy in 2003 but didn't make it to Frank. Although it was recorded as a demo and later showed up on the deluxe version.

What it is is a break up song (as always), about a very sensitive man, who clearly changed a lot while they were together. Maybe Chris?

I can see you ahead of me
But I'm not always forward thinkin'
I tell you what you want to hear
It depends on what I've been drinkin'

Cause everything I do or say
Makes it hard for you to stay
We both know What it is

Now-a-days we talk too much
Like your forgetting all the good shit
You decide what’s wrong with me
I always used to let you say

But now I like to think out loud
Your runnin' with some different crowd
We both know what it is

I don’t know you anymore
Supposed 2 be the man
That I live my life by
And your attitude become a bore
And I'm so tired I cant even cry

Mr Ultra sensitive
Ill never let myself forget you
Messed each other up you know
So Im sorry if I upset you

tomorrow is another day
So Ill call you cause thats OK
We both know what it is

I dont know you anymore
Supposed to be the man
That I live my life by
And you're attitude become a bore
And I'm so Tired
I can't even cry

Relationship doesn’t remain
We resonate on different flames
I could cut you down again
If you were like all other men
If you were like all other men
I know that I could shut you down again
But my friend ,but my friend

I don’t know you anymore
Supposed to be the man
That I live my life by
And your attitude become a bore
And I'm so tired I cant even cry

I don’t know you anymore
Supposed to be the man
That I live my life by
And your attitude become a bore
And I'm so tired I cant even cry
