Help yourself

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Jimmy Hogarth / Amy Winehouse / Freddy James / Larry Stock

When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
They're much too big, but I don't care
I feel the weight your shoulders bear
Now I really empathize
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I know you, you're so frustrated
But we all become what we once hated
Besides, nobody can be that wise

I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself, help yourself)
I can't help you if you don't help yourself (help yourself)
You can only get so much from someone else (You can get so much from me)
I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself)

You've got a degree in philosophy
So you think you're cleverer than me ('cause you're so smart)
But I'm not just some drama queen (drama queen)
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been
So what do you expect from me
To hold your head above the sea (keep you high and dry)
And carry you, even though you're bigger
'Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure
And anyway, we're still so young (yeah, i'm so young)
And this isn't yesterday

I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself, help yourself)
I can't help you if you don't help yourself (help yourself)
You can only get so much from someone else (You can get so much from me)
I can't help you if you won't help yourself (help yourself)

You might be twenty-five but in my mind
I see you at sixteen years old most of the time
And I'm, I'm just a child and you're full grown
And it was like nothing that I've ever known
You are like nothing that I ever knew

Hey Little Rich Girl

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Rod Byers / Terry Hall

Mum bought you a fur coat when you were fifteen
You wore it to the disco, but everyone was in jeans

But you were a rich girl, and only having fun
Your low cut dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?

You left for London, when you were nineteen
Had to pull off your nice clothes, just living on dreams
A man in the bright lights took all that you own
Now he's taken your freedom for a fate unknown

But you were a rich girl, hardly having fun
Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?

Hey, little rich girl you've been away for so long
And now little rich girl, my words are in this song
Hey, little rich girl my love for you is gone
And now little rich girl, I know where you went wrong

At your dad's office party all the movies were blue
Caused him so much heart ache, because the screen star was you
You left for London, when you were nineteen
Had to pull off your nice clothes, but you were living on dreams

You were a rich girl, and only having fun
But your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?

I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Indisponível

I bet you wonderin'
How I knew
'Bout your plans
To make me blue
With some other guy
You knew before
Between two of us guys
You know I love you more

It took me by surprise
I must say
When I found you yesterday
Don't you know that
I heard it
Through the grapevine
Not much longer
Would you be mine
Uhh, uhh
Heard it through
The grapevine
Oh
I'm just about
To lose my mind
Honey, honey
Oh, baby
Ooh ooh honey honey
I know a man
Ain't supposed to cry
But these tears
I can't hold inside
Losin' you
Would end my life
You see
Cause you mean
That much to me
You could have
Told me yourself
That you loved
Someone else

Instead
I heard it
Through the grapevine
Not much longer
Would you be mine
Ohh
I heard it
Through the grapevine
And I'm just
About to lose my mind
Honey, honey
People say believe
Half of what you see
Oh, and none
Of what your hear
But I can't help
But be confused
If it's true
Please tell me dear
Do you plan
To let me go
For the other guy
You loved before?

I Heard Love Is Blind

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse

I couldn't resist him
His eyes were like yours
His hair was exactly the shade of brown
He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell
It was dark and I was lying down

You are everything, he means nothing to me
I can't even remember his name
Why're you so upset?
Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when
I came

What do you expect?
You left me here alone
I drank so much and needed to touch
Don't overreact, I pretended he was you
You wouldn't want me to be lonely

How can I put it so you understand?
I didn't let him hold my hand
But he looked like you, I guess he looked like you
No he wasn't you
But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
It's not cheating, you were on my mind

Yes he looked like you
But I heard love is blind

I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Indisponível

I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't hear me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom fast asleep.

Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his snowy beard so white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Oh, my Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
Oh, my Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

In My Bed

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse / Salaam Remi

Wish I could say it breaks my heart
like you did in the beginning
Its not that we grew apart
a nightingale no longer singing

Its something I know you cant do
separate sex with emotion
I sleep alone the sun comes up
your still clinging to that notion

Every thing is slowing down
river of no return
recognize my every sound
there is nothing new to learn

you'll never get my mind right
like 2 ships passing in the night
in the night, in the night
want the same thing where we lay
otherwise mines a different way
a different way from where I'm going
oh, its you again listen this isn't a reunion
so sorry if I turn my head
yours is a familiar face
but that don't make your place safe
in my bed my bed my bed

I never thought my memory
of what we had could be intruded
but I couldn't let it be
I needed it as much as you did

Now its not hard to understand
why we just speak at night
The only time I hold your hand
is to get the angle right
Everything is slowing down
river of no return
you recognize my every sound
there's nothing new to learn

you'll never get my mind right
like 2 ships passing in the night
in the night in the night
want the same thing where we lay
otherwise mines a different way
a different way from where I'm going
oh, its you again listen this isn't a reunion
so sorry if I turn my head
yours is a familiar face
but that don't make your place safe
in my bed, my bed, my ba ba dee dee bed

Just Friends

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse

When will we get the time to be just friends
It's never safe for us not even in the evening
'cos I've been drinking
Not in the morning where your shit words
It's always dangerous when everybody's sleeping
And I've been thinking
Can we be alone?
Can we be alone?

When will we get the time to be just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends

And no I'm not ashamed but the guilt will kill you
If she don't first
I'll never love you like her
Though we need to find the time
To just do this shit together
For it gets worse
I wanna touch you
But that just hurts

When will we get the time to be just just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
Just friends

Know You Now

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse / Astor Campbell / Earl Chinna Smith / Delroy "Chris" Cooper / Gordon Williams / Donovan Jackson

You're just a little boy underneath that hat
You need your nerve to hide your ego âÂ€Â“ don't come with that
You think everything is handed to you free
But it's not that easy, no

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta know you now and then

My girl says I'm too sensitive to ride with you
But I'm not listening to her, mm hm
Yes I'm perceptive so when I've dance with you you'll whisk your head back the way it were
As you were

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta know you now and then

- Ad lib -

Oh, I'm not ruling you out
I'm just in doubt as to what you say you're all about, yeah

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again
I gotta show you now and them
I gotta know you now and then

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

I gotta know you now
We may never meet again

Love Is A Losing Game

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

Why do I wish I never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I'm rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Me & Mr Jones

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse

Nobody stands in between me and my man
It's me and Mr. Jones (me and Mr. Jones)

What kind of fuckery is this?
You made me miss the Slick Rick gig (oh, Slick Rick)
And thought I didn't love you when I did (when I did)
Can't believe you played me out like that (ah)

No, you ain't worth guest list
Plus one of all them girls you kiss (all them girls)
You can't keep lying to yourself like this (to yourself)
Can't believe you played yourself (out) like this

Ruler's one thing, but come Brixton
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's me and Mr. Jones (me and Mr. Jones)

What kind of fuckery are we?
Nowadays you don't mean dick to me (dick to me)
I might let you make it up to me (make it up)
Who's playing Saturday?

What kind of fuckery are you?
'Side from Sammy, you're my best black Jew
But I could swear that we were through (we were through)
I still wonder 'bout the things you do

Mr. Destiny, nine and fourteen
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's me and Mr.Jones (me and Mr.Jones)
Yeah (me and Mr. Jones)

Moody's Mood For Love

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Indisponível

There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
Pretty baby you are the soul, snaps my control
Such a funny thing but everytime your near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and I'm wrapped up in your magic
There´s music all around me
Crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
Baby close to you, turns me into your slave
Come on and do with me any little thing that you want to
Anything, baby just let me get next to you

So am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you
In the clear blue sky, how I worry bout you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love

So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again baby won't you
come and put our two hearts together
That would make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let in rain
I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
Oh my baby won't you please let me love you
and get a release from this awful misery

What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Don't you understand me, now baby please
Pull yourself together, do it very soon
My heart's on fire, come on and take
I'll be what you make me, my darling

Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land

Maybe there we can find
A good place to keep a lovin' state of mind
I'm so tired of being without it
And never knew what love was all about
James Moody would you come on hit me,
you can blow now if you want to, I´m through

Mr. Magic (Trough the Smoke)

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Indisponível

Everyday I see you my hands were made for you
and you always give me stress free point of view
pick you up after school

Mister magic
Taken a token of my love
mister magic
I see you through the smoke

without you im misery
blue as a migraine
all the songs sound better when your next to me
'cause you come naturally

Mister magic
Taken a token of my love
mister magic
I see you through the smoke

laying on my bed
I reach out for you
and you so fresh you even make the standards new
burn the tip to get you through

Mister magic
Taken a token of my love
mister magic
I see you through the smoke

Mister magic
Waiting for the smoke to clear
I'm waiting for the smoke to clear

October Song

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse / Matt Rowe / Stefan Skarbek

Today, my bird flew away
Gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight, before she took flight
I sang a lullaby of bird land every night
I sang a lullaby every night
Sang for my Ava every night

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise
And Ava flies in paradise

With dread I woke in my bed
To shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoke until one day she couldn't be heard
She spoke until one day she couldn't be heard
She just stopped singing

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise
And Ava flies in paradise

Ava is the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise
And Ava flies in paradise
She flies in paradise

Procrastination

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse

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
Distractionless
(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
Distractionless
(Everything is everything)
Spare me from worse
In the studio, I would finally burn
(All the time is all you got)
Tempted to work

[ Procrastination lyrics found on Complete Album Lyrics ]
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

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse

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
But 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

I 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
But I won't go-go-go

The man said "why do you think you're 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 here, baby, and go rest."

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 don't ever want to drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not going to spend ten weeks
And have everyone think I'm on the mend

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

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
But I won't go-go-go

Round Midnight

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Linda Ronstadt

It begins to tell
Â‘round midnight
Â‘round midnight
I do pretty wait
Â‘till after sundown
It's up to my feel of shed
But it really is bad, now it's night yet.

Memories always start
Â‘round midnight
Â‘round midnight
I haven't got the heart
To stand those memories
So when, when my heart is still with you
It's so midnight knows it too.

For Â‘round midnight
When it comes aroundÂ…

So let our heart take wing
Â‘round midnight
Â‘round midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returnin'
To our love is safe and sound
And though midnight comes around
There's a feel of shed and it really is bad
Â‘round midnight
Â‘round midnigh
...

Some Unholy War

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Amy Winehouse

If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fighting for
He can't lose with me in tow
I refuse to let him go
At his side and drunk on pride
We wait for the blow

put he in writing
But who you're writing for
Just us on kitchen floor
Justice done,
Reciting my stomach standing still
Like you're reading my will
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
And I'll battle till this bitter finale
Just me, my dignity and this guitar case

Yes, yes my man is fighting some unholy war
And I will stand beside you
but who you're dying for?
B - I would have died too
I'd liked to
If my man was fighting
Some unholy war
If my man was fighting

Someone To Watch Over Me

Amy Winehouse
Composição: George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
"Seek and ye shall find"
So i'm going to seek
A certain lad
I've had in mind

Looking everywhere
Haven't found him yet
He's the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man i ever think
Of with regret

I'd like
To add his inital
To my monogram
Tell me
Where is the shepherd
For this lost lamb?

There's a somebody
I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns
Out to be
Someone to watch over me

I'm a little lamb
Who's lost in the wood
I know i could
Always be good
To one
Who'll watch over me

Although he may
Not be the man some
Girls think
Of as handsome
To my heart
He carries the key

Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me

Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

Stronger Than Me

Amy Winehouse
Composição: Frank

You should be stronger than me
You've been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man?
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
You always wanna talk it through - I don't care
I always have to comfort you when I'm there
But that's what I need you to do - Stroke my hair
Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

You should be stronger than me
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey
Why'd you always put me in control
All I need is for my man to live up to his role
You always wanna talk it through - I'm okay
I always have to comfort you every day
But that's what I need you to do ? Are you gay?
Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

He said the respect I made you earn
Thought you had so many lessons to learn?
I said you don't know what love is, get a grip
Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script?
I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna grip your body over mine
Please tell me why you think that's a crime
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
