Jused To Love Her
Guns N' Roses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her, six feet under, and I can still hear her complain

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her, so I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her




She bitched so much. She drove me nuts, and now I'm happier this way
I used to love her, but I had to kill her, and I can still hear her complain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Guns N' Roses/Musicfire.in's song "Used to Love Her" are written from the perspective of a man who has killed his former lover and buried her in his backyard. He acknowledges that he used to love her, but had no choice but to kill her because she "bitched so much" and "drove him nuts." He is unapologetic about his actions and even seems to take pleasure in the fact that he doesn't have to listen to her complaints anymore.


The lyrics are likely meant to be satirical or tongue-in-cheek, as the idea of killing a woman simply because she is annoying is obviously absurd and disturbing. However, the song has been controversial and criticized for promoting violence against women.


Despite the dark nature of the lyrics, the song was a commercial success for Guns N' Roses, appearing on their album "G N' R Lies" and becoming a radio hit.
