Patience
Gans and roses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, one, two, three, four

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) ooh, 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 shinin' bright"
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, oh, I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it

(Little patience, yeah, 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)
Yea-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)

Overall Meaning

The song "Patience" by Guns N' Roses is a beautiful, emotional ballad about love and longing. The song begins with the singer expressing how much he misses his loved one and how he thinks about her every day. He goes on to say that there was a time when he wasn't sure about his feelings, but she has set his mind at ease and there is no doubt that she's in his heart now.


The chorus of the song repeats "All we need is just a little patience" multiple times. This line suggests that the singer and his loved one may be going through a rough patch and need to be patient with each other to work things out. The second verse suggests that the singer is willing to wait because he loves her so much, even if it means sitting alone on the stairs.


The lyrics are emotional and heartfelt, and the melody is simple yet powerful. The song is an excellent example of Guns N' Roses' ability to write ballads that are as touching as their rock songs.

@krowbar2009

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.
