[Verse 1]

Your daddy works in porno, now that mommy's not around

She used to love her heroin, but now she's underground

So you stay out late at night and you do your coke for free

You drive all your friends crazy with your life's insanity


[Chorus]

Well, well, well, you just can't tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle

Look out


[Verse 2]

Sowin' all your wild oats in another's luxury

Yesterday was Tuesday, maybe Thursday you can sleep

But school starts much too early and this hotel wasn't free

Party 'til your connection calls, I'll return the key


[Chorus]

Well, well, well, (You just can't tell) you just can't tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle

Wеll, well, well, you just can't tell (You nеver can tell)

Well, well, well, my Michelle

Come on, [?]


[Bridge]

Everyone needs love

You know that it's true

Someday you'll find someone, fall in love with you

But, oh, the time it take

When you're all alone

Someday you'll find someone you can call your own

But 'til then, ya better


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Now you're clean and so discreet, I won't say a word

Most of all this song is true, case you haven't heard

So come on and stop your cryin', we both know money burns

Honey, don't stop tryin' and you'll get what you deserve


[Chorus]

Well, well, well, (You just can't tell) you just can't tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle

Well, well, well, you just can't (You never can tell)

Well, well, well, my Michelle, yeah


[Outro]

My, my, my Michelle

My, my, my Michelle

M-m-m-m-m-m my Michell

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Michelle

Michelle

Thank you, good fuckin' night

Also, before

Shut it, alright

Before, I thought

Before we changed subjects, what I was sayin' was fuckin'

Few years ago, fuckin' Appetite came out

Fuckin' no one would give the band fuckin' shit for, like, notoriety or anything

They wouldn't give us any, you know

Guns N' Roses didn't exist

And it was you guys that fuckin' made us happen, alright

And so, so, so that being the case, the band got really fuckin' big

I mean, blew my fuckin' mind

And, uh, so we took off for a while, went through a lot of changes and shit

And all of the sudden, you know, a couple years later, after the last tour was over

We noticed that the whole music industry and the whole rock and roll attitude went right back to day one when first started

So now what we're doin', is we're

We're fuckin'

We're tourin' in a record that hasn't been release

Because when we started out in clubs, that's how we started

And the moral of the story is never believe anything you read in Spin magazine

This is true, too

This is, uh, a little baby of mine called "Estranged"
