I Was Only Joking / Patience (Live In New York, Ritz Theatre - May 16, 1991) Guns N' Roses

[Spoken Word Intro]
This is something that made me sick here and on a radio
I think it made everybody in our band sick here and on a radio
But it's something we can all use, I'm sure
Something called "Patience"

Hit me with some Rod Steward baby

[Instrumental Intro]
*Whistling*

[Verse 1]
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you, I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure, but you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

[Chorus]
Said, woman, take it slow and it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience, mm yeah...

[Verse 2]
I sit here on the stairs 'cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense, but I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
