How Do You Know? Lyrics


I'd rather be cold
Than wrapped up in love
Can't seem to get it right
Can't seem to get it right
Fill me up
And still leave me a little dry
Love comes and cleans you out
Love's got an enemy now

How can I forget about the past?
So easily and start again

How Do You Know?
How do you know?
When you've given him everything
And he still made a mess of things
How do you know, know know know?

Oh, it feels so good in the moment
But it's just the moment, that'll soon be over
Once my thoughts are sober
And I'll trade it all love just to believe again
Looking for reasons why its never the right time

How do I forget about the past?
So easily and start again

How do you know?
How do you know?
When you've given him everything
And he still made a mess of things
How do you know?

We don't understand it's worth until it hurts
Sometimes we're so blinded
And always reminded
What's all the fear made me mess it up again
Maybe it was me, maybe it was him
But I just don't know
Don't know which way to go

How do you know?
How do you know?
When you've given him everything
And you still made a mess of things
How do you know, know know know?

How Do You Know? Song Chart
  • The third single off the Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart? album is a touching ballad, which finds a vulnerable Michelle singing about a relationship going awry. The whole LP was inspired by a lover who left the songstress because he was having a baby with another woman. Her heart was broken hence the album title. "You can have your heart broken so many times," she told The Boombox , "you want God to buy your heart."
  • Lyrically, Michelle seems similarities between her self and Taylor Swift, who is famous for writing songs about the men in her life. "I'm the black Taylor Swift," she declared to The Boombox. "If I can't write a song about you, I'm not going to date you. I always write about who I am dating."

    Sweet Child O' Mine Lyrics


    She's got a smile 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'd stare too long
    I'd probably break down and cry

    Oh, oh, oh
    Sweet Child O' Mine
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    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

    Oh, oh, oh
    Sweet child o' mine
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Sweet love of mine

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Sweet child o' mine
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Sweet love of mine

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Sweet child o' mine
    Oh,
    Sweet love of mine

    Where do we go?
    Where do we go now?
    Where do we go?
    Oh, oh
    Where do we go?
    Oh,
    Where do we go now?
    Where do we go?
    Oh, (sweet child)
    Where do we go now?
    Oh,
    Where do we go now?
    Oh,
    Where do we go?
    Oh,
    Where do we go now?
    Oh,
    Where do we go?
    Where do we go now?
    Where do we go?
    Oh,
    Where do we go now?
    No, no, no, no, no, no
    Sweet child,
    Sweet child of mine.

    Sweet Child O' Mine Song Chart
  • The lyrics came from a poem Axl Rose was working on. He wrote the song about his girlfriend, Erin Everly, who is the daughter of Don Everly of the Everly Brothers. They married in 1990 but divorced a month later.
  • Appetite For Destruction was Guns N' Roses first album, and it took a while for the band to catch on. This didn't hit US #1 until a year after the album was released. It was the third single, following "It's So Easy" and "Welcome To The Jungle," which both flopped, although "Welcome To The Jungle" became a hit when it was re-released in the wake of "Sweet Child"'s success.
  • Slash came up with the riff when he was playing around on his guitar. He thought it was silly and wanted nothing to do with it, but Axl loved it and had him keep playing it. Izzy Stradlin added some chords, and the song came together. According to Duff McKagan's 2012 autobiography, Slash always considered it the worst Guns N' Roses song.
  • Slash told Rolling Stone magazine: "It's a combination of influences. From Jeff Beck, Cream and Zeppelin to stuff you'd be surprised at: the solos in Manfred Mann's version of 'Blinded By The Light' and Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street.'" (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • Axl listened to a bunch of Lynyrd Skynyrd songs before recording his vocal. He liked their down-home, genuine sound and wanted to duplicate it on this track.
  • This won Best Single, Heavy Metal/Hard Rock at the 1989 American Music Awards. The group performed "Patience" at the show with Don Henley sitting in on drums for an ailing Steven Alder.
  • In 1989, this won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Heavy Metal Video.
  • A third verse Axl wrote was edited out because the record company thought it made the song too long.
  • The song hit #1 in America on September 10, 1988, and stayed there for two weeks. While it was climbing to the top spot, Guns N' Roses was touring as the opening act for Aerosmith. By the end of the tour on September 15, G N' R had eclipsed their headliners in popularity and were chosen for the cover of Rolling Stone for their November 17 issue.

    The tour went very well thanks to a ground rule Aerosmith set up: no drugs in their presence. The now-rehabbed Aerosmith could see Guns N' Roses heading down the same path of addiction, but made no effort to preach to them about the dangers, as they knew the Gunners would have to make their own mistakes. Aerosmith did, however, give T-shirts to the band listing the rehab centers they had been through instead of tour dates, which they felt was their statement.
  • In the video, a few moments before Slash's solo takes off, Axl can be seen taking off his jacket. Axl had so many bracelets on his arms, he had trouble getting his jacket off, which made them do a number of retakes. Axl stated in a 2006 radio interview with Eddie Trunk that, "the video they wanted to do for the song was supposed to be of an Asian woman carrying a baby into the United States. At the end of the video, the baby is cut open and there is heroin inside because that's what the song is about." (thanks, Jacob - Stockholm, Sweden)
  • This was remixed and re-released in England in May 1989, where it went to #6. When first released in August 1988, it made UK #24.
  • Sheryl Crow covered this in 1999 for the movie Big Daddy, scoring a #30 hit in England. Her version appears near the middle of the movie right after they take the kid away; the Guns N' Roses original is played at the end with the credits. (thanks, shelby - Westfield, IN)
  • The guitar solo is ranked #37 in Guitar World magazine reader's poll for the top 100 greatest guitar solos of all time (Slash's "November Rain" solo ranks #6). (thanks, Elliot - Toronto, Canada)
  • In an interview with Uncut magazine February 2008 Slash was asked where the weirdest place that he'd heard one of his songs was. He replied: "I've heard 'Paradise City' and 'Patience' in some odd places, but the weirdest thing is hearing Muzak versions of 'Sweet Child O' Mine' in elevators and shopping malls. I've even heard an arrangement of it for harp. Recently I was in a hotel and the lounge pianist was playing it. I get a mixture of emotions when that happens. Part of it is 'hey wow, that's our tune!,' part of it's embarrassment at even noticing it, part of it's bewilderment of somebody else playing your music, someone who knows nothing about you, who has never met you, who is just playing your music as part of a thousand pieces of material that they have to play. Imagine how, say, Paul McCartney must feel, hearing his music absolutely everywhere."
  • In 2008, the Recording Industry Association of America declared Appetite for Destruction the best selling debut album in the US with 18 million copies sold. The previous record holder was Boston.
  • This song featured near the end of the 2008 movie The Wrestler, when Mickey Rourke's character makes his entrance into the ring. Axl Rose, who is friends with Rourke, allowed the low-budget film to use the song for almost nothing, something Rourke thanked Axl for at the Golden Globe awards when he won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama.
  • In 2009 a mellow jazz version by Taken By Trees, aka the Swedish singer Victoria Bergsman, reached the UK Top 40 thanks to its use in TV commercials for department store John Lewis.
  • The single version is about a minute shorter. The intro is cut down and the second solo, after the second verse, is removed. (thanks, Tom - Trowbridge, England)
  • The song revealed a sensitive side that Rose hadn't shown before and has done so sporadically since: "A lot of rock bands are too wimpy to have any sentiment or any emotion in any of their stuff unless they are in pain," said Rose at the time. "Sweet Child O' Mine is the first positive love song I've ever written, but I never had anyone to write anything about before."
  • This is the most covered song that Slash has ever written. He told UK's Metro newspaper: "There are some really good instrumental versions for the piano or violin, but I've been horrified by some muzak versions. I've been sitting in a doctor's office thinking, 'That sounds familiar,' and then realizing it's someone's interpretation of what I've written. That can be a creepy feeling."
  • Speaking with the radio station WEBN in Cincinnati, Ohio, Slash admitted that he isn't fond of this song apart from its riff. He explained: "You know, Guns N' Roses was always a real hardcore, sort of, AC/DC kind of hard rock band with a lot of attitude. If we did any kind of ballads, it was bluesy. This was an uptempo ballad. That's one of the gayest things you can write. But at the same time, it's a great song - I'm not knocking it - but at the time, it just did not fit in with the rest of our, sot of, schtick. And, of course, it would be the biggest hit we ever had."
  • Slash broke out the wah-wah pedal for his guitar solo, which landed at #3 on Guitar World's 2015 list of greatest wah solos of all time.

    Don't Shoot Me Santa Lyrics


    Oh, Santa
    I've been waiting on you
    That's funny kid
    Because I've been coming for you

    Oh, Santa
    I've been killing just for fun
    Well, the party is over kid
    Because I, because I got a bullet in my gun
    A bullet in your what

    (Santa's got a bullet in his gun, you know it)
    (Santa's got a bullet in his gun)

    Don't Shoot Me Santa Clause
    I've been a clean living boy
    I promise you, did every little thing you ask me to
    I can't believe the things I'm going through

    Don't shoot me Santa Clause
    No one else around believes me
    But the children on the block they tease me
    I couldn't let them off that easy

    Oh, Santa
    It's been a real hard year
    There just ain't no getting around this
    Life is hard but look at me I turned out alright

    Hey, Santa
    Why don't we talk about it, work it out
    Believe me, this ain't what I wanted
    I love all you kids, you know that, hell

    I remember when you were just 10 years old
    Playing out in the desert
    Just waiting for a sip of that
    Sweet Mojave rain

    In the sweet Mojave rain
    The boy was on his own

    Don't shoot me Santa Clause
    I've been a clean living boy
    I promise you, did every little thing you ask me to
    I can't believe the things I'm going through

    Hey, Santa Clause
    No one else around believes me
    But the children on the block they tease me
    I couldn't let them off that easy

    They had it coming, so, why can't you see
    I couldn't turn my check no longer
    The sun is going down and Christmas is near
    Just look the other way and I'll disappear forever

    Don't shoot me Santa Clause
    No one else around believes me
    But the children on the street they tease me
    I couldn't let them off that easy

    Believe me Santa, Santa

    Don't Shoot Me Santa Song Chart
  • With the exception of the Savior of the World himself, that white-bearded guy who bring gifts to the homes of the well-behaved children on 24th December seems to crop up in more Christmas songs than any other seasonal character. The Killers added to the Kris Kringle oeuvre with this ditty about being a good boy for Santa. Released on November 27, 2007 as a digital download, proceeds from this tune went to AIDS charities as part of the Bono-headed Red campaign.
  • The video was directed, edited, and co-produced by Las Vegas native Matthew Gray Gubler, who is best known for playing Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds. The role of Santa was performed Ryan Pardey. The Halloween Town frontman has been a road fixture with The Killers since 2004 and is known to die-hard fans of the band as The Captain. The Sawdust hidden track "Questions With the Captain" was written by the band about Purdey. In 2012, Pardey appeared as Santa again for The Killers on their Christmas single "I Feel It in My Bones."

    Killers frontman Brandon Flowers recalled to NME: "Our buddy who's an actor on a show called Criminal Minds, which is pretty successful, he went to school with our buddy who played Santa. His parents own a strange-desert ranch and so we were able to shoot it out there."
  • Fun Fact: To visit every child in the world on Christmas Eve, Santa has to travel at 3,000 times the speed of sound.

    Devil Pray Lyrics


    Take my sins and wash them away
    Teach me how to pray
    I've been stranded here in the dark
    Take these walls away

    I've been swimming in the ocean
    Till I'm almost drowned
    Give me something I can believe in
    Teach me how to pray

    And we can do drugs and we can smoke weed and we can drink whiskey
    Yeah we can get high and we can get stoned
    And we can sniff glue and we can do E and we can drop acid
    Forever be lost with no way home

    Yeah we can run and we can hide
    But we won't find the answers
    If you go down then you'll get help along the way
    But if you wanna save your soul
    Then we should travel all together
    And make the Devil Pray

    Ooo, save my soul, ooo, save my soul

    Watch me disappear

  • This song finds Madonna pleading for a sign from God over an acoustic guitar. There are also a number of references to illegal substances. The singer explained to David Blaine during a chat for Interview Magazine, that the track was inspired by people's misguided use of drugs to connect with a higher being. "It's about how people take drugs to connect to God or to a higher level of consciousness," Madonna said. "I keep saying, 'Plugging into the matrix'. If you get high, you can do that, which is why a lot of people drop acid or do drugs, because they want to get closer to God."

    "But there's going to be a short circuit, and that's the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you. They destroy you," she continued. "I mean, I tried everything once, but as soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system. As soon as I was high, I was obsessed with flushing it out of me. I was like, 'OK, I'm done now.'"
  • The song also has a message of seeking spirituality via togetherness. Madonna explained to Rolling Stone: "The way we're going to change the world, or the way we're going to ultimately feel joy, is through unity. I'm certainly not encouraging religious behavior; when I say people are thinking in a religious way, I think they're thinking about rules and dogma and laws that separate. When I say spirituality, I mean a consciousness that has an understanding that we are all in this together, that we are all one. We have to find a way to feel joy and to bring joy to the world together. That ultimately is with consciousness, not drugs."

  • This song partly takes its inspiration from the bands that graced MTV in the '90s like Green Day, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. "Those songs and those riffs and all that stuff definitely had a huge influence on me," lead guitarist Chad Gilbert told MTV News.
  • The song has proved to be a fan favorite when performed live. "In the chorus there's a sort of 'whoa' part that's always like a big sing-a-long when we play it live," Gilbert said. "It took on its own life."
  • The visual pays tribute to old-style live videos that were shown in vintage MTV shows such as 120 Minutes and Headbanger's Ball. "We just thought it would be fun to pay tribute to the old MTV style — the live videos," Gilbert said. "For me and MTV, it was always the MTV year-end countdowns. It was what I'd look forward to honestly every year just as much as Christmas. When Christmas was over, the top 100 videos of the year would lead up to the ball drop. I remember laying on the floor at my great aunt's house in Kentucky [watching] — and two years in a row Guns N' Roses won it."

    Thank U Lyrics


    How about getting off of these antibiotics
    How about stopping eating when I'm filled up
    How about them transparent dangling carrots
    How about that ever elusive kudo

    [Chorus]
    Thank you India
    Thank you terror
    Thank you disillusionment
    Thank you frailty
    Thank you consequence
    Thank you thank you silence

    How about me not blaming you for everything
    How about me enjoying the moment for once
    How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
    How about grieving it all one at a time

    [Chorus]

    The moment I let go of it was
    The moment I got more than I could handle
    The moment I jumped off of it was
    The moment I touched down

    How about no longer being masochistic
    How about remembering your divinity
    How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
    How about not equating death with stopping

  • This was the first single from Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, which was released 3 years after Morissette's wildly popular Jagged Little Pill. The wait created a lot of demand for new Alanis material.
  • Morissette wrote this after taking a year and a half off. She toured constantly in 1995 and 1996 to support Jagged Little Pill. The song is Morissette's reaction to the conflicted feelings she had after achieving success. In her VH1 Storytellers appearance, she explained: "I felt that I lived in a culture that told me that I had to consistently and constantly look outside myself to feel this elusive bliss. And I achieved a lot of what society had told me to achieve and I still didn't feel peaceful. I started questioning everything, and I realized that actually everything was an illusion and it was scary for me because everything I had believed in was dissolving in front of me and there was a death of sorts, a really beautiful one ultimately, but at first a very scary one, and so I stopped. I stopped for the first time and I was overcome with a huge sense of compassion for myself first, and then naturally that translated into my feeling and compassion for everyone around me and a huge amount of gratitude that I had never felt before to this extent. And that's why I had to write this song, 'Thank U,' because I had to express how exciting this was and how scary it was and all of these opportunities for us to define who we are."
  • The video showed Alanis singing naked in the middle of an empty city street. Her hair covered her breasts and her crotch was digitally obscured to keep it family-friendly. A city block had to be shut down to shoot the video.
  • The album set the record for most copies sold by a female artist its first week with 460,000.
  • This was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal.
  • During her time off, Morissette spent time in India, which gave her some of the ideas for this. She thanks India in the song.

    Speakers Lyrics


    I softly kiss your neck, and slowly whisper
    You breathe in 'cause it feels cold where my lips were
    T-shirt for a pillow, music up real low, creeping through the window
    I can feel the bass line in the bed liner, and your heart on mine,
    Tryin' to jump up out of your chest.

    Baby you're now on fire, girl you're on fire
    Out in the dark, wrapped up in the stars
    So right, girl I'm so high
    You and me, wild and free
    Way out in the woods nobody for miles
    Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down
    Just us and the Speakers on
    Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down
    Just us and the speakers on

    The moonlight's tracing those tree tops across your face
    There's a feeling in your eyes the shadows can't erase
    The cool wind around us is breezing around us
    Following my fingers through your hair
    The engine is idling and girl this heat lightning is flashing
    Pictures of you and burning them in my head

    And I'm on fire, girl you're on fire
    Out in the dark, wrapped up in the stars
    So right, girl I'm so high
    You and me, wild and free
    Way out in the woods nobody for miles
    Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down
    Just us and the speakers on
    Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down
    Just us and the speakers on

    I'm tuned in to ya, something's on your mind ain't it?
    Go on and tell me baby, don't act like you can't say it
    I know your body language, you ain't gotta translate it
    Let it talk to me, till I can't take it
    Your lips, your hair, your smile, your touch, your kiss, your stare
    Your vibe's too much
    It lights me up, you got me set
    I'm way too gone, so baby let your eyes close
    Say my name and watch me goin' up in flames

    Girl I'm on fire, girl you're on fire
    Out in the dark, where the wild things are
    So right, girl I'm so high
    You and me, wild and free
    Way out in the woods parked under the pines
    Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down
    Just us and the speakers on
    Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down
    Just us and the speakers on

  • Sam Hunt closes his Montavello album with this take on making love in the back of a truck. Penned by the singer with Kylie Sackley and Brandon Hood, the track originally featured on the singer's 2013 acoustic mixtape Between the Pines.
  • The tracks on Montavello are country songs sprinkled with other genres such as R&B, pop and rap. Radio.com commented to Hunt that this cut sounds like a Drake song. "I never listened to a lot of Drake but I imagine that Drake and I are influenced by a lot of the same people," Hunt responded. "There was definitely a sound that was heard throughout '90s R&B. I think that influenced a lot of what I'm doing. I remember the first time I listened to Usher. I was blown away by that vibe and I think that stuck with me since then."

    Undercover Of The Night Lyrics


    Hear the screams from Center 42
    Loud enough to bust your brains out
    The opposition's tongue is cut in two
    Keep off the streets 'cause you're in danger

    One hundred thousand disparos
    Lost in the jails in South America
    Curl up baby
    Curl up tight
    Curl up baby
    Keep it all out of sight
    Undercover
    Keep it all out of sight
    Undercover Of The Night

    The sex police are out there on the streets
    Make sure the past laws are not broken
    The race militia has got itchy fingers
    All the way from New York back to Africa

    Curl up baby
    Keep it all out of sight
    Curl up baby
    Sleep with all out of sight

    Curl up baby
    Keep it all out of sight
    Undercover
    Undercover
    Undercover
    Keep it all out of sight
    Undercover of the night

    All the young men they've rounded up
    Sent to camps back in the jungle
    And people whisper, people double-talk
    At once their fathers act so humble
    All the young girls they have got the blues
    They're heading on back to Center 42

    Keep it undercover
    Keep it out of sight
    Keep it undercover
    Keep it out of sight
    Undercover
    Keep it out of sight
    Undercover
    Keep it out of sight
    Undercover of the night

    Down in the bars, the girls are painted blue
    Done up in lace, done up in rubber
    The john's are jerky little G.I. Joe's
    On R&R from Cuba and Russia
    The smell of sex
    The smell of suicide
    All these things I just can't keep inside

    Undercover
    Keep it all out of sight
    Undercover of the night
    Undercover of the night
    Undercover of the night
    Undercover of the night
    Undercover
    Undercover, undercover the night

    Undercover Of The Night Song Chart
  • This song is about political corruption in Central America. The US was supporting Nicaraguan rebels (Contras) amid great controversy. It's a rare political song by The Stones.
  • A lot of production went into the track. There is a great deal of echo and phasing on the drums and guitars.
  • Mick Jagger wrote almost all of this. He said of the song: "I'm not saying I nicked it, but this song was heavily influenced by William Burroughs' Cities Of The Red Night, a free-wheeling novel about political and sexual repression. It combines a number of different references to what was going down in Argentina and Chile. I think it's really good but it wasn't particularly successful at the time because songs that deal overtly with politics never are that successful, for some reason." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • Chuck Leavell, formerly of the Allman Brothers Band, played keyboards. He worked with The Stones throughout the '80s.
  • The video portrayed Mick Jagger as a rebel who is shot by Central American forces. This was a huge departure for the Rolling Stones, whose videos to that point consisted of performance footage with heavy preening by Jagger. It was directed by Julien Temple, who had done the Sex Pistols documentary The Great Rock And Roll Swindle. He revealed in I Want My MTV by Craig Marks: "I wrote the treatment for 'Undercover of the Night" as a way of not doing the video. I was a punk rocker, and the Stones were regarded as jet-set traitors to the cause. The song was about the death squads then operating in Central America, and I wrote an extreme treatment about being in the middle of an urban revolution, and dramatized the notion of Keith and Mick really not liking each other by having Keith kill Mick in the video. I never thought they would do it. Of course they loved it.

    The video aired on MTV, but was turned down by some other outlets because of its violence.
  • This was the first single from Undercover.

    Never Let Go Lyrics


    Look, homicide is illegal, death is a penalty
    Never Let Go when you've got ahold of your enemy
    Eagle claw cobra clutch by any means necessary
    I’ll never let it go, see my shadow ninja mic flow
    I throw a great entre dart arrow to your temple
    Allmighty [?] to the insidious
    Plan of the Wu-Tang Clan became a world brand
    We never let it go, we talk a half a mil a show

    Never let go of your mind
    It’s a terrible thing to waste
    To lose, but it’s very hard to find
    Being that ignorance is lethal
    We must touch hearts, tune souls, harmonize the people
    Never let go of your plan, execute
    So when you shoot, inspire everyone on the land
    Never lose knowledge of yourself
    For it may become risk to your health
    And great loss of wealth

    Never let go of your cream, never let go of your dream
    Players retire, but they never let go of the team
    If you a rider then you never let go of that thing
    Pull up your mans’ like you better let go of that bling
    This life’s crazy, too many life sentences, maybe
    Fatherless babies on the block but they father 380
    That’s just the hood lately, never let go
    I’m what the hood made me
    Momma told me to find a good lady

    Never let go of staring at the death
    Like yo, that's your best blow
    I still hold on like En Vogue
    The cold go to war with the heat
    Eyes wide, never falling asleep
    All the talking is cheap
    Call'em, ultimate warrior, W.W.F
    I come up victorious, struggle is nothing to Deck
    Set it straight for the seeds, to see a better new
    Take the real life by the rings and I ain’t letting go
    I ain’t letting go

    No matter what the odds be
    No matter how hard we
    You never let go

    Never let go of the fight, never let go of the mic
    My honesty, my values, my loyalty, my pride
    And memory of those who have passed to the other side
    Never letting go, I’m never letting go of my beliefs
    My faith, convictions, real
    Both hands holding on, never let go the wheel
    We hood legends, misunderstood
    These lessons, learned
    Growing up for manhood
    Keep focus on the prize what you better do
    A little taste of heaven, sunshine is where we headed to
    States what’s ahead of you, always on the schedule
    Smoke the gold leaf down to the residue
    Letting go, is something that I never do
    Those who let go, live life regrettable
    Never let go of your hope or your rope
    Eyes on the prize, never let go of the scope
    When I’m in jail, never let go of the soap
    Hold on, boy, never let go

    Never let go, the all-eye-seeing, the supreme
    Never let go the love of your seeds, or your queen
    Never let go your heart, or the place you started
    The feeling that I had, Wu-Tang had just charted
    The old earth departed, I give thanks to the martyrs
    I never let go the love I have for thy father
    Never let go the glow
    The more I know the more that it shows
    I won’t let go, even if I decompose
    Your seed will carry it on, we need to carry it on
    Pass the baton, life is just the marathon
    And ain't' playing to win it, it’s an epidemic
    Never let go, that’s what the god recommended

    No matter what the odds be
    No matter how hard we
    You never let go

  • This song starts and ends with Martin Luther King samples taken from the Civil Rights Movement leader's famous 1963 I Have A Dream speech. Wu-Tang's RZA told NME: "The ending quote (about "whirlwinds of revolt" leading to justice for black US citizens) – that's more relevant now than it ever was. Sadly."

    Waiting On A Friend Lyrics


    Watching girls go passing by it ain't the latest thing
    I'm just standing in a doorway
    I'm just trying to make some sense
    Out of these girls passing by, the tales they tell of men
    I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just Waiting On A Friend

    A smile relieves a heart that grieves, remember what I said
    I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just waiting on a friend
    I'm just waiting on a friend, just waiting on a friend
    I'm just waiting on a friend, I'm just waiting on a friend
    I'm just waiting on a friend

    Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
    Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
    Don't need a whore, don't need no booze, don't need a virgin priest
    But I need some one I can cry to
    I need someone to protect

    Ooh, making love and breaking hearts, it is a game for youth
    But I'm not waiting on a lady
    I'm just waiting on a friend
    I'm just waiting on a friend, just waiting on a friend
    Waiting on a friend, I'm just waiting on a friend
    I'm just waiting on a friend, waiting on a friend

    Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
    Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah

    Waiting On A Friend Song Chart
  • This is a rare mature reflection from The Stones, as Mick Jagger sings about the values of friendship as opposed to women. Then again, it might be about drugs. Keith Richards was a heroin user at the time, and the song could be a euphemism for waiting on the "connection" - the man with the drugs. Should Keith (or in this case, Mick, as he is singing in the video) get questioned by the police, his response would be, "I'm just waiting on a friend." (thanks, Russell - High Desert, CA)
  • Originally Recorded in 1972 at the sessions for their album Goats Head Soup, this didn't make the cut but was repackaged and released on Tattoo You nine years later. Released as a single, it did very well in America thanks to the advent of MTV; the network launched in 1981 and was thrilled to have a new video by a rock band of The Stones' stature.
  • There are no musician credits on Tattoo You, but it is clear that Mick Taylor contributed on guitar, which he was not compensated for. Taylor fell into obscurity after leaving The Stones in 1974.
  • Think this is about waiting for a woman? Think again. Mick Jagger said in 1983: "Just let me be cynical for a moment. First of all, it's really NOT about waiting on a woman friend. It's just about a FRIEND; it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. I can see people saying, Oh, we're all much older now, Mick's writing this much more compassionate stuff, must be about a real person. But that's only in their perception of it." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • The Stones hired Jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins to play on the Tattoo You album. He played on this as well as the tracks "Slave" and "Neighbors." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • The video ran constantly on MTV. Directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who did their Rock and Roll Circus special in 1968, it featured Jagger and Richards meeting on a New York City street, then going to a local bar to join the rest of The Stones. Reggae legend Peter Tosh is the Rasta sitting on the stoop with Mick Jagger. (thanks, Eli - Albuquerque, NM)
  • This also features Nicky Hopkins on piano, Jimmy Miller on percussion and Kasper Winding on tambourine. Winding was a Danish session drummer who played on the Tattoo You sessions. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
