Best Friends, Right? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't wait to get away from you
Unsurprisingly, you hate me, too
We only communicate when we need to fight
But we're best friends, right?
You're too good at pretending you don't care
There's enough resentment in the air
You don't want me in the flat when you're home at
night
But we are best friends, right?

[Chorus]
You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between

[Verse 2]
Nicky's right when he says I can't win
So I don't wanna tell you anythin'
I can't even think about how you feel inside
But we are best friends, right?
I don't like the way you say my name
You're always looking for someone to blame, blame
You want me to suffer just 'cause you was born wide
But we are best friends, right?

[Chorus]
You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between

[Verse 3]
I had love for you when I was four
And there's no one I wanna smoke with more
Someday I'll buy the Rizla and you get the dro
'Cause we are best friends, right, right, right?

[Outro]
'Cause we are best friends, right?
Because we are best friends, right?

“Best Friends, Right?” is the official studio-recorded

version of the track that Winehouse would open her
live sets with during the Frank era.

The song was officially recorded in February 2003 with

the intent to appear on Frank, but was cut due to there
already being too many songs on the album. It was
later included as a B-side to the Frank single “In My
Bed.”

Genius Answer 2 contributors

Producer Salaam Remi sat down with Complex

in November 2011 and commented:

“ Inherherbestwinning way, Amy took the piss out of

friend that lived with her, and
eventually did another song called
“Addicted” about the same best friend.
During most of her Frank period shows, she
would usually start a show with this song,
even though the recorded version never was
released before.
