Back to Black

He left no time to regret, kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me, and my head high, and my tears dry
Get on without my guy

You, went back to what you knew, so far removed
From all that we went through
And I, tread, a troubled track, my odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to, I go back to, us

I love you much, it's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life, is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls, inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
When I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

Black, black, black, black
Black, black, black
I go back to...
I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black...

Amy, Amy, Amy

Attract me till it hurts to concentrate
Distract me, stops me doin' work I hate
And just to show him how it feels
I walk past his desk in heels
One leg resting on the chair
From the side he pulls my hair

Amy, Amy, Amy
Although I've been here before
Amy, Amy, Amy
He's just too hard to ignore

Masculine, you spin a spell
I think you'd wear me well

Amy, Amy, Amy
Where's my moral parallel?

It takes me half an hour to write a verse
He makes me imagine it from bad to worse
My weakness for the other sex
Every time his shoulders flex
The way the shirt hangs off his back
My train of thought spins right off track

Amy, Amy, Amy
Although I've been here before
Amy, Amy, Amy
Oh, he's just too hard to ignore

Masculine, he spins a spell, yeah
I think he'd wear me well
Amy, Amy, Amy
So where's my moral parallel?

His own style, right down to his Diesel jeans
Immobile, I can't think by any means
Underwear peeks out the top
I'll let you know when you should stop
Now from the picture my mind drew
I know I'd look good on you

Amy, Amy, Amy
Although I've been here before
Amy, Amy, Amy
You're too hard to ignore

Masculine, you spin a spell
I think you'd wear me well
Amy, Amy, Amy
So where's my moral parallel?

Creative energy abused
And all my lyrics go unused
And when I clock black hair blue eyes
I drift off, I fantasize

Amy, Amy, Amy
Although I've been here before
Amy, Amy, Amy
He's just too hard to ignore

Masculine, he spins a spell
I think he'd wear me well
Amy, Amy, Amy
So where's my moral parallel?

Amy, Amy, Amy
Although I've been here before
Amy, Amy, Amy

He's just too hard to ignore

Masculine, he spins a spell
I think he'd wear me well, yeah
Amy, Amy, Amy
Where's my moral parallel?

Tears Dry on Their Own

All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we know
And this regret I got accustomed to
Once it was so right when we were at our high
Waiting for you in the hotel at night

I knew I hadn't met my match but every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility, you don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I don't understand, why do I stress the man
When theres so many bigger things at hand
We could have never had it all, we had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stop wanting you, a perspective pushes through
I'll be some next mans other woman soon
I cannot blame myself again, I should just be my own best friend
Not f*ck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

So we are history, your shadow covers me

The sky above, a blaze!

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I wish I could sing no regrets and no emotional debts
'Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history, your shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way my blue shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I am grown
And in your way my deep shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way my deep shade
My tears dry!

Procrastination

I don't catch your drift and I don't catch your plan
Need to get my thoughts down but it's getting late
Need to get up now, get my feet on the ground
But the show is so unprepared now

My place so messed up, I tried on some shoes
Should think clear and focus but I've things to do
Glancing at my CD rack, eyes linger on Frank
And I must put that check in the bank

Try to put me in a room, distraction less
Everything is everything
Spare me from worse
In the studio I will finally burn
All the time is all you got
Tempted to work

Always got something to do, someone to be seeing
Somewhere to be dancing, I'm a wake human being
It's an opportunity, shout till you go blue
Unless I wanna do it, your words go through

Need to buy some cigarettes, can't put it off any longer
Worked appeal depression, I feel it growing stronger
Maybe when I'm all grown up, I will get it through
But right now I got stuff to do

Try to put me in a room, distraction less
Everything is everything
Spare me from worse
In the studio I would finally burn
All the time is all you got
Tempted to work

Put me in a room, distraction less
Everything is everything
Spare me from worse
In the studio I would finally burn
All the time is all you got
Tempted to work

Gotta get this song down before I leave tonight
But my hair, just does it's own thing and I gotta look alright
And I gotta write a chorus but words allude me now
I have to get this down before I leave somehow

And anyway I be thinkin' to meet you at the station
Guilty 'cause I should be home, damn procrastination
So when they ask me later, I won't tell them how it's going
But now my head is empty and the work load keeps on growing

Try to put me in a room, distraction less
Everything is everything
Spare me from worse
In the studio, I would finally burn
All the time is all you got
Tempted to work

Put me in a room, distraction less
Spare me from worse
In the studio I would finally burn
Tempted to work

Distraction less
Spare me from worse
I would finally burn
Tempted to work

Rehab

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

Didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

The man said, "Why do you think you here?"
I said, "I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near"

He said, "I just think you're depressed"
Kiss me, "Yeah baby, and the rest"
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain' t got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

Valerie

Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture

'Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress

Won't you come on over
Stop makin' a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Did you have to go to jail
Put your house on up for sale
Did you get a good lawyer?

I Hope you didn't catch a tan

Hope you find the right man
Who'll fix it for you

Are you shopping anywhere
Changed the color of your hair
and Are you busy?

And did you have to pay that fine
That you were dodging all the time
Are you still dizzy?

Since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress

Won't you come on over
Stop makin a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture

Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress

Won't you come on over
Stop makin' a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Alcoholic Logic

Swing back and forth
A beautiful thing taking you away
My head is spinning

My girl tried to stop me
But I had a taste of you
Unfamiliar surroundings
Left me wanting something new

Physical ain't even my type
But you're one of a kind
So subconsciously on purpose
I left my coat behind

I can't help it, need to stop it
All that I put myself through
Everyone is so denying
Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too

I hate my alcoholic logic
As I write this on the train
Victoria's Secret in my bag
And my thighs ache again

Last night tips into my mind
Through the puddle in my head
I always get what I want
I think I even said

I can't help, it need to stop it
All that I put myself through
Everyone is so denying
Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too

Although I enjoyed it
I should have tied up my loose ends
But I left my jacket with you
And you know my friends

So maybe you will get my number
Or ask them when I'm ached down
But I may have forgotten you
By the next time I'm in town

I can't help, it need to stop it
All that I put myself through
Everyone is so denying
Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too
