Take the Box (Mercury Prize/Sept 2004) Songtext
von Amy Winehouse

Your neighbors were screaming
I don′t have a key for downstairs
So I punched all the buzzers
Hoping you wouldn't be there

So now my head′s hurting
You say I always get in my own way
But you were in the shower when I got there
And I'd have wanted to stay
But I got nothing to say

You were so beautiful before today
But then I heard of what you say
And man, that was ugly

The Moschino bra you bought me at Christmas
Put it in the box
Frank's in there, I don′t care
Put it in the box
Just take it, take the box, take the box


I came home this evening
And nothing felt like how it should be
I feel like writing you a letter
But that′s not me, you know me

I feel so fucking angry
And I don't wanna be reminded of you
So when I left my mess in your kitchen
I said goodbye to your bedroom
It smelled like you

Mr. False Pretense, you don′t make sense
But I guess I just don't know you
But you make me cry, where′s my kiss goodbye?
When I think I love you

The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
Put it in the box
Frank's in there, I don′t care
Put it in the box
Just take it, take the box
Just take it, take it, take the box
Now just take it
Mm, mm

Thank you
