February 20th - They tried to make me go to rehab
Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" really demonstrates what a soulful, skillfull singer she is. She's got so much gravity and soul and feeling in her voice, it's amazing. The song's about her experience of being asked to go to rehab by management for her drinking. She claims that she was drinking because she was in love and fucking up the relationship. She went ahead and changed her management team as a result and eventually crafted this little ditty. Now, I'm down for rehab... but if skipping it can produce music like this, well....
They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.
I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He’s tried to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.
I’d rather be at home with ray
I ain’t got 70 days
Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can’t learn, from yester halfaway
Didn’t get a lot in class
But I know it don’t come in a shot glass
They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.
I aint got the time,
And if my Daddy thinks im fine,
He’s tried to make me go to rehab,
I wont go, go, go.
The man said, why you think you here?
I said, I got no idea
Im gonna, im gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near
Said, I just think you’re depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby
And the rest
I’m tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know
I don’t ever wanna drink again
I just, ooo, I just need a friend
Im not gonna spend 10 weeks
Have everyone think im on the mend
It’s not just my pride
It’s just til these tears have dried
They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back,
You wont know, know, know
I aint got the time,
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He’s tryna make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.
PS I'm still gonna get those last 8 songs out, even if we are half way through March. I SHALL SUCCEED LOL
