[Intro: Axl Rose]
Ooh, ah
Ah

[Refrain: Axl Rose & Duff McKagan]
How could she look so fine?
How could it be, she might be mine?
How could she be so cool?
I've been taken for a fool, so many times, hey

[Verse 1: Duff McKagan]
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes its turn
And leaves a broken man

[Refrain: Axl Rose & Duff McKagan]
How could she be so cool? Ah
How could she be so fine?
I owe a favor to a friend
My friends, they always come through for me

[Verse 2: Duff McKagan]
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes its turn
And leaves a broken man
If you could only live my life you could see the difference
You make to me, to me

[Chorus: Duff McKagan]
And I'd look right up at night
And all I'd see was darkness
Now, I see the stars, alright
I want to reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house
Yeah, that made me happy
The sweat I make for you
Yeah, I think you know where that comes from
Guitar, come on

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Duff McKagan]
Yeah, when I look right up at night
And all I'd see was darkness
Now, I see the stars, alright
I want to reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house
Yeah, that made me happy
The sweat I make for you
I think you know where that comes from

[Refrain: Axl Rose]
How could she look so good? So good
How could she be so fine?
How could she be so cool?
How could it be, she might be mine?
Yeah
