(Stradlin')
I tried so hard just to get through to you
But your head's so far
from the realness of truth
Was it just a come on in the dark
Wasn't meant to last long
I think you've worn your welcome honey
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song
Time can pass slowly, things always change
Your day's been numbered
and I've read your last page
You was just a temporary lover
honey you ain't the first
Lots of others came before you woman
said but you been the worst
Sa' you been the worst
Say goodbye to you girl
So long, farewell
I can't hear you cryin'
Your jivin's been hell
So look for me walkin'
Down your street at night
I'll be in with another
Deep down inside
Deep down inside

    General Comment:This is actually the only song on the Use Your Illusion albums I don't like. I like My World more than this because it just seems like an unnecessary song.

    General Comment:It's pretty simple and straight forward, like a lot of girls who nag their guys and expect them to still do anything for them and stay with them.
    this song is about having the brains to tell the chik to fuck off and dont bother waiting for him to come crawling back coz he can find someone better and shes not the first girl he'soved or hated

    General Comment:This girl thinks he really needs her, so she messes around and thinks he'll still want her, and he's letting her know she means nothing to him- that she's "just a temporary lover", she "ain't the first." Such an awesome song- totally sticks it to the girl. This song also shows GN'R didn't need Axl- the songs without him are some of the best.

    General Comment:*lol* At the end if you listen carefully you can hear either Duff or Axl say 'to the bar!' Some one says something and then the door clicks!

    General Comment:A song about cutting a chick down. She treated him like shit, so he is showing her up now.

    Izzy was a great writer for G'N'R...his solo stuff is pretty good too...not on this site though
