Song Notes
I never met [Amy Winehouse]. You know that her roots were based in things like Otis Redding and Billie Holiday. She had this deep love of old music and bringing it into the modern era. You can hear that. I think that was something that was missing in R ‘n’ B and soul music. Now that she’s gone … it was just a big colossal loss. It’s just sad, and so I wrote a song about it.

Lyrics
Is your heart singing out of tune?
Are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
No one really knows about your soul
And I barely really know your name
Burning rhythms and posting lies
And a bunch of fools drown in shame
Amy, don't you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh, please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Did you tattoo a lucky charm
To keep you out of harm's way?
Warding off all evil signs
But never really kept you safe
Now you're too young for the golden age
'Cause the record bin's been replaced
Twenty-seven, gone without a trace
And you walked away from your drink
Amy, don't you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh, please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of
Amy, please don't go
Amy, please don't go
Is your heart singing out of tune?
Are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
May I have this last dance
By chance, if we should meet?
Can you write me a lullaby
So we can sing you to sleep?
Amy, don't you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh, please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
