[Verse]
There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing, but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me the smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
There's music all around me
Crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
Very close to you, turns me your slave
Come on and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything, baby, just let me get next to you
So am I insane or do I really see Heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you
In the clear blue skies, how I worry about you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby, come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love
So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, baby, won't you
Come and put our two hearts together?
That would make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Now if there's a cloud up above us
Come on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh, my baby, won't you please let me love you
And give relief from this awful misery
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Can't you understand me, now, baby, please
Pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet

[Bridge]
Oh, baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let me visit out there in that new promised land

[Outro]
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a lovin' state of mind
I'm so tired of being without it
And never know what love's about
Vince Henry, you can come on hit me
Then you can blow now if you want to, I'm through

Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September, 1983 — 23 July, 2011) was an English singer-songwriter known for her immediately recognisable contralto vocal range and soul-jazz style of vocals.

Even at age fourteen, Amy had a breathtakingly unique set of vocals that would propel her into stardom. By age nineteen, she had signed with Simon Fuller’s management company 19 Management. Soon after, she was scouted by Island Record’s A&R representative Darcus Beese and signed over to Island Records. In less than a year, after working closely alongside legendary music producer Salaam Remi, Amy released her debut studio album Frank. The album was praised for its jazz-influenced sound, and earned a nomination for Album of the Year at the 2004 Mercury Music Prize Awards. It rolled out some of Amy’s most notable singles, including “Fuck Me Pumps” and “Stronger Than Me,” the latter of which winning Amy her first Ivor Novello Award in 2004.

Three years after Frank on October 27, 2006, Amy released her sophomore and final studio album Back to Black. The album narrated the ups and downs of Amy’s personal life, most specifically the turmoils she faced with her partner Blake Fielder-Civil. Back to Black saw Amy branch out in terms of genre and production while working with fellow English producer Mark Ronson, who produced five of the eleven tracks featured on the album. Its lead single, “Rehab,” solidified itself as Amy’s staple track, detailing the conversation she had with her management after fears her drinking habits were causing her too much damage. The album’s title track “Back to Black” was released as another single a few months after “Rehab” and unfolded the dark moments that Amy faced after her relationship with Fielder-Civil came to a halt. Despite the album’s immense popularity and four Grammy Award wins, the attention it received, coupled with the incessant touring of the album and pressure placed on her personal life, visibly plunged Amy into her darkest hours that quickly lead to her untimely demise.
