About Mr. Brownstone

"Mr. Brownstone" is a song by the American rock band Guns N' Roses, featured on their debut studio album, Appetite for Destruction (1987).

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

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
