[Verse 1]
I've been looking for a trace
Looking for a heart
Looking for a lover in a world
That's much too dark

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction, oh yeah
You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another piece of the action, yeah

[Verse 2]
Said where you going
What you gonna do
I've been looking everywhere
I've been looking for you

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction, I've got your satisfaction
You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another piece of the action

[Chorus]
Because you're crazy, hey hey
You're fucking crazy, oh my
You know you're crazy, oh child
I said you're crazy, ay, ay, yeah
Uh yeah, aow, oh!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Say, boy, where you coming from
Where would you get that point of view
When I was younger
Said I knew someone like you

[Pre-Chorus]
And they said, "You don't want my love"
You want to satisfaction
You don't need my love
You've got to find yourself another piece of the action

[Chorus]
'Cause you're crazy, hey hey
You're fucking crazy, oh my
You know you're crazy, oh child
I said you're crazy
Oh, you're crazy
You know you're crazy
Well, you're crazy
You know you're crazy, oh

[Outro]
You know you are
Bring it down
You're fuckin' crazy

Guns N’ Roses

Guns N' Roses was the most dangerous band in the world in the late 80s and early 90s. Led by singer Axl Rose and stylish guitarist Slash, they mixed the passion of blues, the heaviness of rock, and the attitude of punk, bringing forth a breath of fresh air to a music scene dominated by cheesy hair metal bands.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, is the best selling debut of all-time. They outsold a headlining Aerosmith on their first major tour, released two double albums (Use Your Illusion I & II) simultaneously, and soon would play to audiences in excesses of 20,000 people.

However, cracks started forming in the band, as classic era drummer Steven Adler was fired from the band before the “Use Your Illusion” releases and founding rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin left abruptly during the ensuing tour. They were replaced by Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke, respectively, with keyboardist Dizzy Reed joining the band and expanding the group’s sound.
