  • Lent you Outsidaz and my new Badu
    While you were thinking I didn't have a clue
    Tough to sort files with your voice in my head
    So then I bribed you downstairs with a Marlboro Red, uh
    And now I feel so small discovering you knew
    How much more torture would you have put me through?
    You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
    Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes, yeah

    And although my pride is not easy to disturb, yeah
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
    With your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this, no, no, with you next to me

    And although he's nothing in the scheme of my years
    It just serves to bludgeon my futile tears
    And I'm not used to this, no, no
    I observe, yeah, I don't chase
    But now I sit with consequences thrust in my face, yeah
    And the melodramas of my day deliver blows
    And that surpass your rejection, it just goes to show
    A simple attraction that reflects right back to me
    So I'm not as into you as I appear to be, yeah

    And although my pride, yeah, is not easily disturbed, yeah, yeah
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
    With your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this, no, with you next to me

    His message was brutal, but the delivery was kind
    Maybe if I get this down, I'll get it off my mind, yeah
    Oh, it serves to condition me and smoothen my kinks, yeah
    Despite my frustration for the way that he thinks
    And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
    At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
    Didn't think you'd get my number down as such
    But I've never hated myself for my age so much, yeah

    And although my pride, yeah, is not easy to disturb, yeah
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
    So with your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this, no, no, with you next to me, yeah
    And although my pride, yeah, is not easy to disturb, yeah
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
    So with your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this, no, no, with you next to me, yeah Writer/s: Amy Winehouse, Felix Howard
