You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still (just) a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say: "i love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It’s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt You say why did you do it with him today? and sniff me out like I was Tanqueray cause you're my fella, my guy hand me your stella and fly by the time I'm out the door you tear men down like Roger Moore I cheated myself like I knew I would I told ya, I was trouble you know that I'm no good Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy, he’s in the place, but I can't get joy, thinking on you in the final throes, this is when my buzzer goes run out to meet your chips and bitter you say when we married cause you're not bitter there'll be none of him no more I cried for you on the kitchen floor I cheated myself like I knew I would I told ya, I was trouble you know that I'm no good sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain we're like how we were again I'm in the tub, you on the seat lick your lips as I soak my feet then you notice little carpet burn my stomach drop and my guts churn you shrug and its the worst who truly stuck the knife in first I cheated myself like I knew I would I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good I cheated myself, like I knew I would I told ya I was trouble, yeah ya know that I'm no good
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been bad 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
Cuz 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 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 your 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 never wanna drink again
I just ooooh 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
They tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go, go, go
