Amy Winehouse

Sourced

• I'm a songwriter but she [Katie Melua] has her songs written for her... She must think it's her fucking lucky day... It's not like she's singing old songs like Jamie [Cullum], she's singing shit new songs that her manager writes for her.
  • Sara McDonnell, "Amy Winehouse - Frank About All That Jazz" musicOMH 2004-04-04

• It's not important to me to make other people at ease. I am difficult, but that's 'cause I don’t really give a fuck.
  • Blender, Almost Famous: Amy Winehouse, April 2007

• I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.

Frank (2003)

• 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,
  Always wanna talk it through- I'm ok,
  Always have to comfort you every day,
  But that's what I need you to do - are you gay?
  • Stronger Than Me

• You can't sit down right,
  Cause your jeans are too tight,
  And you're lucky it's ladies night.
  With your big empty purse,
  Every week it gets worse,
  At least your breasts cost more than hers.
  • Fuck Me Pumps

• You've got a degree in philosophy,
  So you think you're cleverer than me.
  But I'm not just some 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?
  And there are you even though you're bigger,
  Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure?
  And anyway we're still so young
  And this isn't yet the day.
  I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
  • Help Yourself

• You'll never get my mind right
  like 2 ships passing in the night.
  • In My Bed

• The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
  Put it in the box, put it in the box
  Frank's in there and I don't care
  Put it in the box, put it in the box,
  Now take it,Take the box.
  • Take The Box

• My destructive side has grown a mile wide
  and I question myself again: what is it about men?

Back To Black (2006)

• Though I battle 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.
  
  • Love Is A Losing Game

• 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.
  • Rehab

• 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
  Just try to make me go to rehab
  I won't go, go, go.
  • Rehab

• He left no time to regret,
  Kept his dick wet,
  With his same old safe bet.
  Me & my head high,
  And my tears dry,
  Get on without my guy.
  • Back To Black

• I don't understand,
  Why do I stress a man,
  When there's so many bigger things at hand.
  We could've never had it all,
  We had to hit a wall,
  So this is inevitable withdrawal.
  Even if I stop wanting you
  And perspective pushes through,
  I'll be some next man's other woman soon.
  I couldn't play myself again,
  I should just be my own best friend,
  Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.
  • Tears Dry On Their Own

• 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.
  • Tears Dry On Their Own

• Then you notice likkle carpet burn
  My stomach drop and my guts churn
  You shrug and it's the worst
  Who truly stuck the knife in first?
  I cheated myself like I knew I would
  I told you I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
  I cheated myself, like I knew I would
  I told you I was trouble, yeah you know that I'm no good.
  • You Know I'm No Good

• It's okay in the day, I'm staying busy
  Tied up enough so I don’t have to wonder, "Where is he?"
  Got so sick of crying
  So just lately
  When I catch myself I do a 180
  I stay up, clean the house
  At least I'm not drinking
  Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
  That silent sense of content
  That everyone gets
  Just disappears soon as the sun sets
  His face in my dreams, seizing my guts
  He floods me with dread
  Soaked to the soul
  He swims in my eyes by the bed
  Pour myself over him
  Moon spilling in
  And I wake up alone.
  • Wake Up Alone

• What kind of fuckery is this?
  You made miss the Slick Rick gig.
  • Me & Mr. Jones

• I'll battle this bitter finale,
  Just me, my dignity and this guitar case.
