Song lyrics
I get up around seven 
Get outta bed around nine 
And I don't worry about nothin' no 
Cause worryin's a waste of my... time 

The show usually starts around seven 
We go on stage around nine 
Get on the bus about eleven 
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine 


We been dancin' with 
Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin' 
He won't leave me alone 
No no no-oh-oh, he won't leave me alone


I used to do a little 
but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' 
to get a little better 
Said a little better than before 
I used to do a little 
but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' 
to get a little better 
Said a little better than before 


We been dancin' with 
Mr. Brownstone 
He's been knockin' 
He won't leave me alone 
no no-oh-oh-oh, he won't leave me alone


[Guitar solo]


Now I get up around whenever 
I used to get up on time 
But that old man 
he's a real muthafucker 
Gonna kick him on down the line 

I used to do a little 
but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' 
to get a little better 
Said a little better than before 
I used to do a little 
but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' 
to get a little better 
Said a little better than before 


We been dancin' with 
Mr. Brownstone 
He's been knockin' 
He won't leave me alone 
no no no-oh-oh, he won't leave me alone

Oh-oh-oh leave me alone


Stuck it in the middle, and I
Shot it in the middle, and it
It drove me out of my mind
Shoulda know better 
Said i wish i never met her
Said I'll leave it all behind
Yowza

nirvanafreak, that's not what he said, he said that "to many of the band members were dancing with mr.brownstone",he didn't refer just to slash, and slash left like 7 years after that incident. btw great song

ok axlzgurl, you say this is your least favorite GNR song? really? so you would prefer to listen to "My World" over this song...interesting. you know, i once belived that people who listened to GNR had good taste in music, i guess there has to be exceptions.

Looks like the song had a larger impact on Va Tech than GNR ever realized. Maybe songwriters will think about their lyrics when they write them, rather than just putting words on paper that makes money!

Who knew I would learn about this song through a mass murderer's shoddy (and vulgar) play. I almost made a music video out of this, but I don't have the time or equipment to pull it off. I really like this song, very catchy.
