  • 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
    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
    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 Writer/s: Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson

  • Safaro from Rather Not SayThis song is so inappropriate because it says he kept his dick wet obviously she is referring to sex.
  • Shanina Mhali from Ohio This song is so good it makes u not want to even listen to any other song on the album.. but pls listen to all the others. They’re also great xo
  • Denise from Richmond, VaI love this song!! It's so real, you can tell that she truly feels what she says.
  • Tiffany from Little Rock, ArThis needed to be her signature song, not "Rehab". This song is so much deeper, heavier, haunting, and downright sad. The lyrics capture Amy's current state of mind perfectly and explain exactly who this "junkie British singer who won't go to rehab and is always in the papers" really is.
  • Hannah from Hampshire, England, United KingdomThis song is so unique. I think Winehouse is the most original artist in a while.
  • Kerri from Manchester, NhSuch a beautiful song. It's jazz meets hip-hop. Swears meet soul.
