Rehab
Girls Aloud · Other Songs - Girls Aloud
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
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
I 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, 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
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, oh
kiss me here baby and go 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, 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!
