AMY WINEHOUSE - REHAB
They Tried To Make Me Go To Rehab, 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, I Won't Go Go Go
I'd Rather Be At Home With Ray
I Ain't Got Seventy Days
Coz There's Nothing
There's Nothing You Can Teach Me
That I Can't Learn From Mr Hathaway
Didn't Get A Lot At Class
But I Know It Don't Come In A Shot Glass
They Tried To Make Me Go To Rehab, 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
Kiss Me Here Baby And Go Rest'
They Tried To Make Me Go To Rehab, 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, 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, I Won't Go Go Go
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Amy WInehouse
Producer(s): Mark Ronson
This Song Is Autobiographical. Many Successful Musicians Are Haunted By Their Own Personal Demons Of Drink And Drugs, And Winehouse Is No Exception. In February 2007 Her Father Gave A Candid Interview To The Sun Newspaper In Which He Denied That His Daughter Was An Alcoholic, Although He Admitted That Like Many Single Women Of Her Age She Sometimes Overdid The Drink. On One Occasion, After Splitting Up With Her Boyfriend, She Fell Over And Hit Her Head.
Her Previous Management Company Wanted Her To Go Into Rehab But She Said She Didn't Need To. Her Father Agreed, Adding That She Wasn't An Alcoholic But Had Been Drinking Too Much Because She Was Lovesick, And "You Can't Go Into Rehab For That." Alcoholics Drink Everyday, He Said, And His Daughter Didn't. Hence The Line: "They Tried To Make Me Go To Rehab, I Said No, No, No."
On August 14, 2007, Winehouse Entered The Causeway Retreat, A Rehab Center In Essex, England, With Her New Husband (And Fellow Addict), Blake Fielder. Addiction Specialists Know That Admitting A Couple To Rehab Together Is A Bad Idea, But The Causeway Was Not An Ethical Institution: It Was Shut Down Amid A Host Of Violations In 2010.
Winehouse Did A Few More Stints In Rehab To Treat Her Drug And Alcohol Addiction, But It Was Ultimately Unsuccessful. She Was Found Dead In Her London Home On July 23, 2011.
This Won The 2007 Ivor Novello Award For Best Contemporary Song.
At The 2008 Grammy Awards, This Won For Song Of The Year, Female Pop Vocal Performance And Record Of The Year. Winehouse Also Won For Best New Artist, And Performed A Medley Of Songs That Were Televised From London. Ronson Won For Producer Of The Year.
Backstage At The Grammy Ceremony Mark Ronson Recalled To Billboard Magazine What It Was Like Playing "Rehab" For Winehouse's A&R For The First Time. "About The First 15 Seconds In, He Said 'Rewind, Rewind!' I Didn't Think There Would Be Dollar Signs Lighting Up."
