You Could Be Mine

I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in two
An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed with your ass in the air
I'll be out the door before ya wake
It's nuthin' new ta 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 rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine

Now holidays come and then they go
It's nothin' 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 rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine

You've gone sketchin' too many times
Why don't ya give it a rest
Why
Must you find
Another reason to cry

While you're breakin' down my back n'
I been rackin' 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 r' wearin' thin
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
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 couchtrip's gettin' older
Tell me how long has it been
'Cause 5 years is forever
An you haven't grown up yet

You could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine
You should be
You could be mine

Yeah!

First example of Izzy not playing along in a video?

Why isn't this a poll?

with your ass in the air

no memory of this

I think it's kind of a quiet response to the first part of the line?

"with your ass in the air" was an extra lyric Axl added for live performances.

These are great lyrics, by the way, especially that powerhouse, ultra-fast last verse.

These threads are making me want to post the lyrics to Catcher in the Rye.

this song is about Steven Adler

I think there's some erin everly in it too.

"With your bitch slap rappin and your cocaine tongue you get nothing done" was written in the liner notes of Appetite. It was a line of much speculation and inscrutablity among my friends and I, not unlike "Coming soon...the Alexvanderpoolera"
