When life gives you lemons, some folks turn them into vodka lemonade. 🍋 Amy Winehouse's iconic anthem is a jazzy, soulful middle finger to the pressures of societal expectations and rehab intervention. She reveals an iron will masked in vulnerability, choosing the comforting embrace of her vices over the imposed straight-laced path. Winehouse opts for the wisdom of musical legends like Ray and Mr. Hathaway instead of institutionalized sobriety. The lyrics ooze with resistance as she humorously yet poignantly admits she'd rather nurse a bottle than her pain. It's a serenade to the bittersweet struggle between self-destruction and self-awareness. #RebelWithACause #SoulfulResistance #IconicAnthem
Rehab
Lyrics
They tried to make me go to rehab
I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I 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
I won't go, go, go
I'd rather be at home with a 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 we don't come in a shot glass
They tried to make me go to rehab
I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I 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
I won't go, go, go
The man said, "Why do you think you 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"
This, me, yeah, baby, and the rest
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I been black
But when I come back, you'll know, know, know
I don't ever want to drink again
I just, oh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend
And it's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to rehab
I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I 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
I won't go, go, go
