You Could Be Mine (Live In Las Vegas, Thomas & Mack Center - January 25, 1992)
[Spoken Word Intro]
Now, MTV did their year-end countdown of the requests and their regular play videos
And we'd like to thank you people and the rest of the people like you around the country for making this next song number one on both charts
We have a—
We have a little bit of Arnold for you
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn
I'll rip your heart in two
And I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
I'll be out the door before you wake
It's nothin' new to you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie, too
[Chorus]
'Cause you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done
I said, you could be mine, aw
[Verse 2]
Now, holidays come and then they go
Nothin' new today
Collect another memory
When I come home, late at night
Don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again
[Chorus]
'Cause you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done
I said, you could be mine, yeah
[Bridge]
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine
You've gone sketching too many times
Ooh, why don't you give it a rest?
Why must you find
Another reason to cry?
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Well, you're breakin' down my back, I'm rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it, 'cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage, your flaps are wearing thin
I'll sleep on it 'til mornin', but this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers, ridiculous demands
You can take the pity so far, but it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couch-trip's gettin' older, how long has it been?
Five years is forever, and you haven't grown up yet
[Chorus]
Oh, you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done
I said, you could be
You should be
You, 'cause you could be mine
[Outro]
Oh, you could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
(You could be mine) You could be mine
(You could be mine) You could be mine
(You could be mine) You could be mine
(You could be mine) You could be mine, yeah
