"Rehab" lyrics
"Rehab"
They tried to make me go to rehab, but 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
He's tried to make me go to rehab, but I won't go, go, go
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
They tried to make me go to rehab, but 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
He's tried to make me go to rehab, but I won't go, go, go
The man said "Why do you think you're 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've been black, but when I come back, you'll know, know, know..
I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to rehab, but 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
He's tried to make me go to rehab, but I won't "go, go, go"

Writer(s): Amy Winehouse
The lead single from her "Back to Black" album.
The theme of this song reflects Amy Winehouse's refusal to attend an alcohol rehabilitation centre. Her management wanted her to go there, but her father said that she didn't need to, though she should try. She said afterwards, "So I did, for just 15 minutes. I went in said 'hello' and explained that I drink because I am in love and have screwed up the relationship. Then I walked out."
This single reached number 9 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 being Amy Winehouse's only top-ten hit in the USA.
"Rehab" won three Grammy Awards at the 50th ceremony in 2008: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Though the lyrics of this track expresses how the narrator doesn't want to go to rehab, its
music video, in contrast, ends with Amy Winehouse in rehab, sitting on a bed with her band around her.
The music video for "Rehab" was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to
Rihanna's "Umbrella".
