Amy Winehouse - Close to the Front lyrics

Only paid attention in your lessons
I sat close at the front so I could see
Your enthusiastic demonstrations
Teaching to a class of only me
And I couldn't speak directly to you (To you)
Without stuttering or turning red
So looking back, I don't know
How I handled it, yeah
A futile frustration in my head

I can't help but analyse your actions
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time

Hated it when I saw them together
(yeah, yeah)
I sat around waiting for shit to end
Unconsciously, I tried to sabotage it
(I tried to sabotage it)
To get revenge on my best friend
Because I was in love with him before her
(I got there first, yeah)
I had just cause to grieve (Oh, oh, yeah)
So not long after she broke up with him
I got my closure on New Year's Eve

I can't help but analyse your actions
(Actions) neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time (In time)
I can't help but analyse your actions
(Actions) neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time (In time)

I love all the bickering and insults
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when I shout at you and you smile
Making coffee while my mind spills over
How I catch your eye once in a while
Shouldn't I have grown a little wiser?
(A little wiser)
Why haven't I learned my lesson yet?
(Lesson yet)
And although I have made my love progressions
I tend to learn as much as I forget

I can't help but analyse your actions
(Actions) neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time (In time)
I can't help but analyse your actions
(Actions) neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time, yeah
I can't help but analyse your actions
Neglecting mine
Before I know, I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time
