Lyrics Used To Love Her

I Used to Love Her was written as satire, in response to accusations that Guns N Roses songs contained misogynistic lyrics. The song plays with the extreme theme of getting rid of an annoying girlfriend but was actually inspired by one of the band members dog.

 I used to love her but I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah, but I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

I used to love her oo, yeah, but I had to kill her
I used to love her oo, yeah, but I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her, so I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard!!!

Oh yeah, oo yeah, whoa, oh yeah

I used to love her but I had to kill her
I used to love her, ohh, yeah, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much, she drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way!!! yeah

Whoa, oh yeah!

I used to love her but I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah, but I had to kill her
I had to put her, oooh, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
