Amy Winehouse
Beat the Point to Death
[Verse 1]
I make a name for myself in different ways
All the while, you will see my songs of praise
How can I concentrate when, all the while, my head
Throws me scenarios so I tease myself instead?
Though I can talk it through, really, I find it tough
My frustration is relieved, but not nearly enough
And added to that, I'm sick of having to seek some peace
Because I need emotion with my physical release, yeah
[Chorus]
Can't help but bring it up and beat the point to death
But my words are for nothin', I'm wasting my breath
Can't help but bring it up and beat the point to death
But my words are for nothin', I just keep wasting my breath
[Verse 2]
They're everywhere I go and I always stare
I justify attraction by your hands, or lips, or hair
And, so, although, I always look, I know that I can't touch
Because I can only take a full-time man so much
And now I've reached a point where I don't care anymore
It's a necessity just like it was before
But, these days, I ignore the way my body aches
'Cause I'm the shit I earn, I can't afford mistakes, no
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Can't help but bring it up and beat the point to death
But my words are for nothin', I'm wasting my breath
Can't help but bring it up and beat the point to death
But my words are for nothin', I just keep wasting my breath
(My words are for nothin')
[Bridge]
(Can't help) I can't help but bring it up, no
(But my) My
(Can't help) I can't help, oh no
(But my words are for nothin', I just keep wasting my breath)
My words are for nothin', yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Can't help but bring it up and beat the point to death
But my words are for nothin', I'm wasting my breath
Can't help but bring it up and beat the point to death
But my words are for nothin', I just keep wasting my breath
[Outro]
Can't help, but my, can't help
But my words are for nothin', I just keep wasting my breath
