You Could Be Mine

(album: Use Your Illusion II - 1991)

I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn and I'll rip your heart in two
And I'll leave you lying on the bed
I'll be out the door before you wake 'em, it's nothing new to you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie, too

'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue
You get nothing done, I said, you could be mine, aw

Now, holidays come and then they go, it's nothing new today
Collect another memory
When I come home, late at night, don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again

'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue
You get nothing done, I said, you could be mine

You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine
You've gone sketching too many times
Ooh, why don't you give it a rest?
Why must you find another reason to cry?

Well, you're breaking down my back and I've been racking out my brain
It don't matter how we make it, 'cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage, but your flaps are wearing thin
And I could sleep on it until morning, but this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands
An' you can take the pity so far, but it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couch-trip's getting older, tell me how long has it been?
'Cause five years is forever, and you haven't grown up yet

Oh, you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue
You get nothing done, I said, you could, you should be

You could be mine
Oh, you could be mine
You could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine

Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine, yeah
