"Back To Black"
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

cocaine, marijuana
Considering who the song's by and about these seem the most likely interpretations.
Blow is a slang term used for cocaine (although in the past it was also used to refer to marijuana or hashish)
Puff is a slang term used in the UK to refer to marijuana.

we like different (opposite, contradictory) things
I think that's probably all it means, unless it has obscene connotations ("blow" meaning "blow job" and "puff" having some other sexxual connotation which escapes me), but I don't think that's likely.

: I agree with the interpretation. The actual words used refer to drugs. "Blow" refers to cocaine, and "puff" refers to marijuana | as a community interpreter I can't afford such ignorance :)

blow = cocaine and puff = pot (cannabis)
I think this is a drug reference as blow and puff are slang for cocaine and cannabis, at least in UK English.

Puff
Puff and black are both slang words for heroin. Black because of its color when it comes in “tar” form, and puff because of puff the magic dragon. Puff mostly refers to people who smoke heroin.
Example sentence:
She smokes puff.
She prefers black
