[Intro]
Oh, baby
Pretty baby
Oh, honey
You let me down, honey

[Verse 1]
I ain't playing childhood games no more
I said, it's time for me to even the score
So, stake your claim, your claim to fame
But, baby, call another name
When you feel the fire, woah
And taste the flame, woah yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Back off, back off, bitch
Down in the gutter, dying in the ditch
You better back off, back off, bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch

[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah

[Verse 2]
Making love, cheap heartbreaker
Broken-backed, nasty ball-breaker
Stay outta my bed, outta my head
If it's loving you, I'm better off dead

[Chorus]
Now back off, back off, bitch
Down in the gutter, dying in the ditch
You better back off, back off, bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch

[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Emotions ripped, gone on a binge
Light lipped, I said you're off the hinge
Telling lies of such fame and glory
I don't even want to hear your story

[Chorus]
Back off, back off, bitch
Down in the gutter, dying in the ditch
You better back off, back off, bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off, bitch
It's such a pity that you're such a bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
It's time to burn-burn the witch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch

[Outro]
"Hey, what do you think he's trying to say there, anyway?"
"I think it's something each person's supposed to take in their own special way"
Fucking bitch

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.
