don’t cry

If we could see tomorrow
What of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride
They’re back in demand
I was the one who’s washing
Blood of your hands

Don’t you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don’t you cry tonight
Don’t you cry tonight, there’s a heaven above you, baby
And don’t you cry tonight

I know the things you wanted
They’re not what you have
With all the people talking
It’s driving you mad
If I was standing by you
How would you feel
Knowing your loves decided
And all love is real

And don’t you cry tonight
Don’t you cry tonight
Don’t you cry tonight, there’s a heaven above you baby
Don’t you cry tonight

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I’ve heard
Something has died
And when you’re in need of someone
My heart won’t deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry baby

And don’t you cry tonight
And don’t you cry tonight
And don’t you cry tonight, there’s a heaven above you baby
And don’t you cry tonight
Don’t you ever cry
Don’t you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don’t you cry
Don’t you ever cry
Don’t you cry
Tonight

sweet child o’ mine

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I’d probably break down and cry

Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o’ mine

november rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We’ve been through this such a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time
on your own
Do you need some time
all alone
Everybody needs some time…on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone
I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time…on my
own Sometimes I need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me, ohhh yeahhh
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don’t ya think that you need somebody
Don’t ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

my world

you wanna step into my world
it’s a sociopsychotic state of bliss
you’ve been delayed in the real world
how many times have you hit and missed?
your cat-scan shows disfiguration
i wanna laugh myself to death
with a misfired synapse
with a bent configuration
i’ll hold the line while you gasp for breath
you wanna talk to me
so talk to me
you wanna talk to me
you wanna talk to me
you wanna talk to me
you wanna talk to me
you wanna talk to me
you wanna talk to me
you wanna talk to me
you can’t talk to me
you don’t understand your sex
you ain’t been mindfucked yet
let’s do it
let’s do it
let’s do it
oh my distorted smile

my michelle

Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy’s not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she’s underground
So you stay out late at night
And you do your coke for free
Drivin’ your friends crazy
With your life’s insanity

Well, well, well you just can’t tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

Sowin’ all your wild oats
In another’s luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn’t free
So party till your connection call
Honey I’ll return the key

Well, well, well you just can’t tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

Everyone needs love
You know that it’s true
Someday you’ll find someone
That’ll fall in love with you
But oh the time it takes
When you’re all alone
Someday you’ll find someone
That you can call your own
But till then ya better…

Now you’re clean
And so discreet
I won’t say a word
But most of all this song is true
Case you haven’t heard
So c’mon and stop your cryin’
‘Cause we both know money burns
Honey don’t stop tryin’
An you’ll get what you deserve

Well, well, well you just can’t tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

estranged

When you’re talkin’ to yourself and nobody’s home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone (alone)

So nobody ever told you baby how it was gonna be
So what will happen to you baby
Guess we’ll have to wait and see

Old at heart but I’m only 28
And I’m much to young to let love break my heart
Young at heart but it’s geting much to late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don’t know how you’re s’posed to find me lately
An what more you could ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no-one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I mustn’t hesitate
If I’m to find my own way out

Still talkin to myself and nobody’s home (alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
how it was gonna be
So what will happen to us baby
Guess we’ll have to wait and see

When I find all of the reasons
Maybe I’ll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I’ll get it right next time
An now that you’ve been broken down
got your head out of the clouds
You’re back back down on the ground
And you don’t talk so loud
an you don’t walk so proud
Any more and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times
to make it home
I’m out here on my own, and drifting all alone
If it doesn’t show give it time
To read between the lines
‘Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything we’ve ever known’s here
Why must it drift away and die

I’ll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I’ll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my freinds said I was high
But everything we’ve ever known here
I never wanted it to die

Lyrics by Axel Rose ©1991
