Best Friends, Right? Lyrics
Amy Winehouse
Lyrics
Woo-hoo, ooh-woo-hoo-ee
I can't wait to get away from you.
Unsuprisingly, you hate me too.
We only communicate
When we need to fight,
But we're best friends...
Right?
Too good at pretending you don't care.
There's enough resentment in the air.
You don't want me in the flat
When you're home at night,
But we are best friends,
Right?
You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette,
You know what all my faces mean.
And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between.
Nicky's right when he says I can't win,
So I don't wanna tell you anything
I can't even think about
How you feel inside,
But we are best friends,
Right?
I don't like the way you say my name.
You're always looking for someone to blame, blame.
You want me to suffer just
'Cause you was born wide,
But we are best friends,
Right?
You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette,
You know what all my faces mean.
And its easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between.
I had love for you when I was four,
And there's no one I wanna smoke with more.
Someday I'll buy the Rizla,
And you get the dro,
'Cause we are best friends,
Right, right, right?
Because we are best friends,
Right?
Because we are...
Best friends,
Right?
