Artist/Band: Amy Winehouse
Lyrics for Song: You Sent Me Flying
Lyrics for Album: The Album Collection [2012]



Lent you outsiders and my new Badu

While you were thinking I didn't have a clue

Tough to sort files with your voice in my head

So then I bribed you downstairs with a malboro red

And now I feel so small discovering you knew

How much more torture would you have put me through?

You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes

Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes



And although my pride is not easy to disturb,

You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb

With your battered jeans and your beasties tee

Now I can't work like this with you next to me



And although he is nothing in the scheme of my years

It just serves to bludgeon my futile tears

And I'm not used to this, I observe, I don't chase

So now I sit with consequences thrust in my face

And the melodramas of my day deliver blows

That surpass your rejection it just goes to show

A simple attraction that reflects right back to me

So I'm not as into you as I appear to be



And although my pride's not easily disturbed

You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb

With your battered jeans and your beasties tee

Now I can't work like this with you next to me



His message was brutal but the delivery was kind

Maybe if I get this down I'll get it off my mind

It serves to condition me and smoothen my kinks

Despite my frustation for the way that he thinks

And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect

At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect

Didn't think you get my number down as such

But I never hated myself for my age so much



And although my pride's not easy to disturb

You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb

With your battered jeans and your beasties tee

Now I can't work like this with you next to me (fade chorus out)


You Sent Me Flying

Amy Winehouse's 'You Sent Me Flying' stands as a quintessential example of her signature sound, blending soulful vocals with a gritty, jazz-inflected R&B groove. Recorded for her 2012 compilation, the track captures the raw emotional vulnerability that defined her career, particularly during the period surrounding her breakthrough album 'Back to Black.' The song's structure mirrors the intimate, confessional style she perfected, utilizing a sparse arrangement to highlight her distinctive contralto voice and percussive vocal delivery. As a staple of her discography, the recording reflects her ability to transform personal heartbreak into universal anthems, cementing her legacy as a modern soul icon who revitalized the genre with a unique, retro-futuristic aesthetic.
