Anything Goes
Guns & Roses Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' 'bout sex
Always hungry for somethin'
That I haven't had yet
Well maybe baby, you got somethin' to lose
Well I got somethin'
I got somethin' for you

My way, your way
Anything goes tonight
My way, your way
Anything goes

Panties round your knees
With your ass in debris
Doing that grind
With a push and a squeeze
Tied up, tied down
Up against the wall
Be my rubbermade baby
And we can do it all

My way, your way
Anything goes tonight
