About In My Bed

"In My Bed" is a song by English singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse from her debut studio album Frank (2003). It was released on 5 April 2004 as the album's third single (double A-sided with "You Sent Me Flying"), reaching number 60 on the UK Singles Chart. "In My Bed" samples the beat of rapper Nas' 2002 song "Made You Look", which in turn contains a sample of the Incredible Bongo Band's 1973 cover of "Apache". Both "In My Bed" and "Made You Look" were produced by Salaam Remi. A rare live session of Winehouse performing "In My Bed" in 2003 was included in the documentary film Amy (2015), which depicts the singer's life and death.

 Struggling with In My Bed? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Wish I could say it breaks my heart
Like you did in the beginning
Its not that we grew apart
A nightingale no longer singing

Its something I know you can't do
Separate sex with emotion
I sleep alone the sun comes up
Your still clinging to that notion

Every thing is slowing down
River of no return
Recognize my every sound
There is nothing new to learn

You'll never get my mind right
Like two ships passing in the night
In the night, in the night
Want the same thing where we lay
Otherwise mines a different way
A different way from where I'm going
Oh, its you again listen this isn't a reunion
So sorry if I turn my head
Yours is a familiar face
But that don't make your place safe
In my bed, my bed, my bed

I never thought my memory
Of what we had could be intruded
But I couldn't let it be 
I needed it as much as you did

Now its not hard to understand
Why we just speak at night 
The only time I hold your hand
Is to get the angle right
Everything is slowing down
River of no return
You recognize my every sound 
There's nothing new to learn

You'll never get my mind right
Like two ships passing in the night
In the night in the night
Want the same thing where we lay
Otherwise mine's a different way
A different way from where I'm going
Oh, its you again listen this isn't a reunion
So sorry if I turn my head
Yours is a familiar face
But that don't make your place safe
In my bed, my bed, my ba ba dee dee bed
