My Michelle
Phil Lewis (of L.A. Guns) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she's underground
So you stay out late at night
And you do your dope for free
Drivin' your friends crazy
With your life's insanity
Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Sowin' all your wild oats
In another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn't free
So party till your connection call
Honey I'll return the key
Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Everyone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone
That'll fall in love with you
But oh the time it takes
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone
That you can call your own but till then ya better
Now you're clean and so discreet
I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true
Case you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your cryin'
'Cause we both know money burns
Honey don't stop tryin' and you'll get what you deserve
Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
My my my Michele
My my my Michele
My my my Michele
My my my Michele

Your daddy works in porno
Your father works in the porn industry
Now that mommy's not around
Your mother has passed away
She used to love her heroin
Your mother was addicted to heroin
But now she's underground
Your mother has died and is buried
So you stay out late at night
You stay out late at night
And you do your dope for free
You use drugs for free
Drivin' your friends crazy
Your lifestyle is driving your friends crazy
With your life's insanity
Your life is crazy
Well, well, well you just can't tell
It's hard to predict what will happen
Sowin' all your wild oats
You're enjoying your youth and freedom
In another's luxuries
You're enjoying someone else's wealth and possessions
Yesterday was Tuesday
Time goes by quickly and days blend together
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
You're always active and don't get much rest
But school starts much too early
You have to wake up early for school
And this hotel wasn't free
Staying in hotels costs money
So party till your connection call
Enjoy yourself until your drug dealer calls
Honey I'll return the key
I'll give back the hotel key
Everyone needs love
People need love and companionship
You know that it's true
It's a universally accepted concept
Someday you'll find someone
You'll find love someday
That'll fall in love with you
Someone will love you back
But oh the time it takes
It takes time to find love
When you're all alone
Being alone can be difficult
Now you're clean and so discreet
You've stopped using drugs and are more reserved
I won't say a word
I won't tell anyone
But most of all this song is true
This song is based on real events
Case you haven't heard
In case you didn't already know
So c'mon and stop your cryin'
Stop crying and move on
'Cause we both know money burns
Money is easily spent
Honey don't stop tryin' and you'll get what you deserve
Don't give up and you'll eventually get what you deserve
My my my Michele
