They tried to 
make me go to rehab 
and I said, no, no, no 

Yes I been black 
but will I come back 
No, no, no 
I ain' t got the time 

And if my daddy 
thinks I' m fine 
They 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 seventy days 

' Cos there' s nothing 
Nothing you can teach me 
That I can' t learn 
from Mr. Hathaway 

I 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 
and I said, no, no, no 
Yes I been black 
but will I come back 

No, no, no 
I ain' t got the time 
And if my daddy 
thinks I' m fine 

They 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 
one bottle near 
He said, I just think 
you' re depressed 

Kiss me here baby 
and the rest 
They tried to 
make me go to rehab 

and I said, no, no, no 
Yes I been black 
but will I come back 
No, no, no 

I don' t ever wanna 
drink again 
I just, oooh I just 
need a friend 

I' m not gonna 
spend ten weeks 
And have everyone 
think I' m off my head 

And it' s not just my pride 
It' s just ' till these 
tears have dried 
They tried to 

make me go to rehab 
and I said, no, no, no 
Yes I been black 
but will I come back 

No, no, no 
I ain' t got the time 
And if my daddy 
thinks I' m fine 

They tried to make 
me go to rehab 
but I won' t go, go, go
