Just Friends
Amy Winehouse Lyrics
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends?
It's never safe for us
Not even in the evening
'Cause I've been drinking
Not in the morning
When your shit works
It's always dangerous
And I've been thinking
Can we be alone?
Can we be alone?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends?
And, no, I'm not ashamed
But the guilt will kill you
If she don't first
I'll never love you like her
Thought we need to find a time
To just do this shit together
'Fore it gets worse
I want to touch you
But that just hurts
When will we get
The time to be
Just, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
When will we get
The time to be
Just friends, just friends?
Just friends

Once more Amy wonders if her and this boy can just be friends. She feels way too strongly about him to stay within friendship boundaries.
In the 2018 documentary Amy Winehouse: Back to Black, song producer Salaam Remi said the following about the track:
"I really started to feel the soul and where she was going with this. In that she was taking a dig because she was hurt, and you know, it was like, “Well, the guilt will kill you if she don’t first.

We don’t even have time to make this work. “When will we get the time to just be friends?” And that’s where the “Just Friends” title took over from “I’ve Been Drinking” because it’s almost like the drunk truth came out."

When will we get the time to be just friends?
It's never safe for us, not even in the evening
'Cause I've been drinking
Not in the morning where your shit works
It's always dangerous when everybody's sleeping
And I've been thinking
Can we be alone?
Can we be alone?
When will we get the time to be just friends?
When will we get the time to be just friends?
And no, I'm not ashamed, but the guilt will kill you
If she don't first
I'll never love you like her
Though we need to find the time
To just do this shit together
For it gets worse
I wanna touch you
But that just hurts
When will we get the time to be just, just friends?
When will we get the time to be just friends?
When will we get the time to be just friends? Just friends?
When will we get the time to be just friends? Just friends?
Just friends?

Victor's life
I want to live in an universe where Amy is a normal person, with a normal life, without toxic media and without people mocking at her… An universe where Amy doesn’t need alcohol or drugs but a friend. ❤
