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 This, me, yeah, baby, and the rest They tried to make me go to rehab But I said, no, no, no Yes, I been black But when I come back, you'll know, know, know I don't ever want to drink again I just, oh, I just need a friend I'm not gonna spend ten weeks Have everyone think I'm on the mend And it's not just my pride It's just till these tears have dried They tried to make me go to rehab I said, no, no, no Yes, I 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 I won't go, go, go
