Our Day Will Come lyrics - Amy Winehouse

Our day will come
(Our day will come)
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
(We'll share the joy)
Falling in love can bring

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know
(Too young to know)
I love you so
(Love you so)
And you love me

Our day will come
(Our day will come)
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
(No tears for us)
Think love and wear a smile

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come

(Our day will come) [x2]

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come

(Our day will come) [x2]
Our day will come
(Our day will come) [x2]
Our day will come
(Our day will come) [x2]
Our da-a-y will come
(Our day will come) [x2]
Our day will come

Between The Cheats lyrics - Amy Winehouse

I would die before I divorce ya
I'd take a thousand thumps for my love
'Cause you kissed a lucky horseshoe
Stuck it in my boxing glove

Does anyone who will listen up
To our victories and dumb defeats
Knows they all take you to the cleaners
If you come between the cheats

Between the cheats
Between the cheats
Between the cheats

My husband is the finest handsome hustler
And he still makes this housewife blush
So I go with him, my hand flicks
I'm sitting on the royal flush

Women drink him in, swim in him with green eyes
Then go home and cash the chips you've got
And here maybe two, oh two bottles of
The jack of hearts is my jackpot

Between the cheats
Between the cheats
Between the cheats

Cause we all have to lock eyes
And I know is my heart beat
There's a winning secret to both
And it's sworn between the cheats

Between the cheats
Between the cheats
Between the cheats

Tears Dry (Original) lyrics - Amy Winehouse

All I can ever be to you,
Is the darkness we once knew,
And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to
Once it felt so right
Anticipation at its height,
Lived in and waiting in hotel room late at night

I knew I hadn't met my match,
With every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I let myself get so attached,
It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to cut myself off I had no capacity

[Chorus:]
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And in your grey, in this cool shade,
My tears dry on their own,

I don't understand,
Why do I stress a man,
When there's so many better things than him at hand,
We could have never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
And this is inevitable withdrawal,
Even if I stop wanting you,
A perspective pushes through,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon,

I cannot play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,

[Chorus]

Wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debt
And as we kiss goodbye
The sun behind you 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 grey
In this cool shade,
My tears dry on their own,

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
Baby, in your grey
In this cool shade,
My tears dry on their own,

Yeah, leave your grey to shade
My tears dry on their own

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow lyrics - Amy Winehouse

(originally by The Shirelles)

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
And you say that I'm the only one, the only one, yeah
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning star?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, cause I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Yeah

Like Smoke lyrics - Amy Winehouse (feat. Nas)

[Chorus: Amy Winehouse]
I never wanted you to be my man
I just need your company
Don't want to get dependent on
Your time or who you spend it on
Or lose the way you love me
Like smoke I hung around
And be your balance

[Verse Rap 1: Nas]
It's not a movie
This is not script to proof read
I spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies
Tryna punctuate pronounciate the funds I make amounts I take
Put in your face oh, my mistake you're not a floozy?
Then excuse me before I talk my style
Introduce me get your name and phone number like one two three
Y'all know the story y'all know the commentary
I kick the narrative this is legendary
The good Samaritan good thespian like a polygamist
With a twist will I marry again? maybe I guess
I hold a lady interest I just met the love scholar
She the teacher's pet
Every other eve we'd meet and make each other sweat
I feel triumph with no strings just a fling to have fun with
I be out in London, Camden
Hunting for the answers why did God take away the homie
I can't stand it
I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity
Just hope the big man show me some courtesy
Why? сuz I'm deemed a heartbreaker
Like smoke girls linger round a player yeah-yuh

[Chorus: Amy Winehouse]

[Verse Rap 2: Nas]
Yo, This recession is a test, It's affecting my complexion,
Miss-directing my affection
My concerns of bill collections
The facts is the taxes they're after me chapter 3,
My property my handlers they dealt with me improperly
I say some things I should probably keep privately
Evaluate the World Bank trust like I'm IEG,
This fly sweet bourgeoisie,
Tall freak she wouldn't protest with me at Wall Street
She's says no you so deep
I said no let's go thru it
Historically so
Ruthless feds came for Joe Lewis
She said my man u needs to laugh sometime
Classifies me as a bore I told her have some wine
You colder than penguin pussy at her dismay
She's thinking that's just so silly to say
But if you really think about it hussy
See a penguin he drags his ass on the ground all day
And it's a drag
And it's a bust and you're in tune with just lust
I'm thru with you after I crush
So is that humorous enough
The smoke I puff
Tell a car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whiskey Mist on Mayfair
I hope I meet some Monie Loves so she can show me love
NYC to UK I might stay there,
Everybody in the club tonight say yeah,
You know how me and Amy are straight players

[Chorus: Amy Winehouse]

Valerie ('68 Version) lyrics - Amy Winehouse

Well sometimes I go out, by myself, and I look across the water.
And I think of all the things, of what you're doing, and in my head I paint a picture.
Since I've come home, well my body's been a mess, and I miss your ginger hair, and the way you like to dress.
Oh wont you come on over, stop making a fool out of me, why dont 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, I hope you find the right man, who'll fix it for you.
Are you shopping anywhere, change the colour of your hair, are you busy.
And did you have to pay that fine, that you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy.
Well since I come home, well my body's been a mess, and I miss your tender hair, and the way you like to dress.
Oh wont you come on over, stop making a fool out of me, oh 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, of what you're doing, and in my head I paint a picture.
Since I've come home, well my body's been a mess, and I miss your ginger hair, and the way you like to dress.
Oh wont you come on over, stop making a fool out of me, oh why dont you come on over, Valerie.

Valerie

Why don't you come on over Valerie...

The Girl From Ipanema lyrics - Amy Winehouse

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking now
When she passes each one she passes
Goes daboo-du-daa
When she walks, it's just like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes
Goes daboo-du-daa

Oh, how I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But instead, when she walks to the sea,
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I go
The girl, the girl, the girl
From Ipanema, from Ipanema...

Oh. how I want her so badly
How, how can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But instead, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile,
But she doesn't see.
She ain't looking at me.

Halftime lyrics - Amy Winehouse

Simple, sweet guitar
Humbled by the bass
So when the beat kicks in
Everything falls into place
And it overpowers me
I can’t help but dance
You can try to stop me now
But you won’t get the chance

Halftime, time to think it through
Consider the change
Seek it from a different view
Halftime, time to think it through
Consider the change

Rhythm floods my heart
The melody it feeds my soul
The tune tears me apart
And I swallow it whole
You should thank your lucky star
Cause the music is a gift
And it’s stronger than all else
Provides me with the bliss

Halftime, time to think it through
Consider the change
Seek it from a different view
Halftime, time to think it through
Consider the change

My lyrics revealing
Some natural vibe
It's a kind of laid back feeling
Oh just let it ride
And when Frank Sinatra sings
It’s too much to take, yeah
So I sing the standard shit
It pacifies my ache

Halftime, time to think it through
Consider the change
Seek it from a different view
Halftime, time to think it through
Consider the change

Wake Up Alone (Original) lyrics - Amy Winehouse

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 when the sun sets

[Chorus:]
He gets fierce in my dreams seizing my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked to his soul he swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him, moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

As far as my heart, I'd rather be restless
Second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
This ache in my chest, 'cause my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now

My blood running cold, I stand before him
It's all I can do to assure him
When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light

[Chorus]

And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone

Best Friends, Right? lyrics - Amy Winehouse

I can't wait to get away from you
Unsurprisingly you hate me too
We only communicate when we need to fight
But we are best friends, right?

You're too good at pretending you don't care
There's enough resentment in the air
You don't want me in the flat when you're home at night
But we are best friends, right?

You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between
Nicki's right when he says I can't win
So I don't wanna tell you anything
I can't even think about how you feel inside
But we are best friends, right?

I don't like the way you say my name
You're always looking for someone to blame
You want me to suffer just cause you were born white
But we are best friends, right?

You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
It's easy to smoke it up and forget
Everything that happened in between

I had love for you when I was 4
And there's no one I want to smoke with more
Someday I'll buy the Rizla and you get the draw

Because we are best friends, right, right, right?
Because we are best friends, right?
Because we are best friends, right?

Body And Soul lyrics - Amy Winehouse (with Tony Bennett)

[Tony:]
My heart is sad and lonely,
For you I sigh, for you, dear, only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you, body and soul

[Amy:]
I spend my days in longing,
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you, body and soul

[Tony:]
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance

[Amy:]
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear

[Tony:]
My life a wreck you're making

[Amy:]
You know I'm yours just for the taking

[Both:]
I'd gladly surrender, myself to you, body and soul

[INSTRUMENTAL (4 Bars)]

[Tony:]
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear

[Amy:]
My life a wreck you're making

[Tony:]
You know I'm yours for just the taking

[Both:]
I'd gladly surrender, myself to you, body and soul

A Song For You lyrics - Amy Winehouse

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but can't you see
There's no one more important to me
So darlin', won't you please see through me?
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front, well baby I was hiding
But now I'm so much better with my words coming together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
Cause you the boy next door and a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember [x5]
When we were together
And I was singing this song for you

We were alone and
I was singing this song for you

Mr Magic (Through The Smoke) lyrics - Amy Winehouse

Every day I see you,
My hands were made for you,
And you always give me stress me free point of view,
Pick you up after school

[Chorus:]
(Mr. Magic) Take a token,
(Mr. Magic) Of my love,
(Mr. Magic) I see you through the smoke

Without you, a misery,
Blue with a migraine,
All the songs sound better when you're next to me,
Hey, cause they come naturally

[Chorus]

Laying on my bed,
I reach over for you,
And you so fresh you even make the standards bloom,
But it's just to get you through

[Chorus]

(Mr. Magic)
(Mr. Magic)
(Mr. Magic)
Waiting for the smoke to clear.
I'm waiting for the smoke to clear

Brother lyrics - Amy Winehouse


Brother
It's so much that I could never say to your face
But by now
You should know the world and all its ways
So find your place

How do I find words that do not condescend
When she bore you before me
Cause she doesn't need a child she needs a friend
A son, not a sob story

(Now you look out for her the way she did for you)
And your priority it must be heard
(Now you look out for her the way she did for you)
Cause we'll never be the way we were

She can't always be there just to hold you down
Our mother
When you are at a age now, well life turns around
My brother

Realize that you don't have to answer to no man
Responsibility comes down to you
But how can I expect you to understand
When you live life like it's so run-through

(Now you look out for her the way she did for you)
And your priority, it must be heard
(Now you look out for her the way she did for you)
Cause we'll never be the way we were

The way we were
We'll never be
At your priority, it must be her
