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 mother thinks I'm fine
He's 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 seventeen days
'Cause there's nothing,
There's nothing you can teach me
That i can't learn from Mr Hathaway

Didn't get a lot in 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 mother thinks I'm fine
He's 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 your depressed,
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 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 mother thinks I'm fine
They tried to make me go to rehab but i won't go go go
