They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's 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
'Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from mr. Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know we don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's 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 a bottle near

He said: I just think you're depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby and go rest

They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said: No, no, no
Yes, I've been black and when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab,but I won't go, go, go
