Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
Said "woman take it slow and things will be just fine"
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said "sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright"
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it
Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah (I've been walking the streets at night)
Just trying to get it right (A little patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the names
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah but I need you (All need more patience)
Oh, I need you (All need some patience)
Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)
Ooh this time (Is all you need)
The song Patience by Guns N' Roses is about the journey of the lead singer's love life, particularly his longing for his ex-girlfriend. The song starts with some sadness, "Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you", but then it clarifies that the singer still can smile and is slowly moving on. However, he still thinks about his love interest every day. Initially, he was uncertain about his feelings, but now he is sure that he has feelings for her. He tells his lover to take things slow, and everything will work out fine. All they need is patience.
The next stanza talks about how he would instead be alone than be with someone else. Though he does feel tense sometimes, he cannot speed up time. However, the love of his life is worth waiting for. He again tells her that they need to be patient, and things will work out just fine. The chorus repeats these thoughts, and in the end, he concludes that love is all they need, and patience is the key to any good relationship.

Listening to this now is so amazing.
If you were a 90s kid this was something you played over and over again.
Listening to it now on YouTube.
I bet everyone has that same feeling.
Watching it over and over again.
You can hate progress for so many reasons but sometimes
THEY GET IT RIGHT.

My dad named me after this song. He told my mom "if I ever have a daughter, I'm naming her Patience" and that's how I came to be. He passed when I was 16 in 2020 due to a heart attack. Whenever this song comes on the radio, I take it as a sign that my dad is here.
