I Used To Love Her
Richard Cheese Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Guns N' Roses)

I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
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, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
Oh yeah, Oo yeah, whoa, oh yeah

I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
She bitched so much, She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way, yeah
Whoa, oh yeah

I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her

I had to put her, Oo, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "I Used to Love Her" by Richard Cheese are a parody of the original song by Guns N' Roses. The song follows the perspective of a man who used to be in a romantic relationship with a woman but had to kill her due to her constant complaining that drove him insane. He notes that he loved her once but had no other choice than to bury her in his backyard after killing her.

The lyrics can be interpreted in various ways, including as a commentary on toxic relationships or as a portrayal of possessive behavior. The man's decision to kill his former partner can be seen as a result of his inability to handle her personality or as a manifestation of his desire to control her. The lyric "I knew I'd miss her, so I had to keep her" suggests that the man was unable to let go of the woman even after her death and chose to keep her close by burying her in his backyard.

Overall, the song's humorous tone and lyrics make it a satirical take on the original song, which was serious in tone and dealt with the theme of lost love.

I used to love her
I had a romantic relationship with this woman in the past

But I had to kill her
I had to end her life

I had to put her six feet under
I buried her after killing her

And I can still hear her complain
I can still hear her voice in my head even though she's dead

I knew I'd miss her
I was aware that I would feel some kind of loss after killing her

So I had to keep her
I buried her in my backyard to keep her with me even after her death

She's buried right in my backyard
I buried her corpse in my backyard

She bitched so much, She drove me nuts
She annoyed me to my limit with her constant complaining

And now I'm happier this way
I am now content after ending her life

I buried her body six feet under the ground

And I can still hear her complain
I can still remember her nagging, even after her death
