Lyrics of
Patience

Patience is a song by rock band Guns N Roses, featured on their 1988 album GNR Lies. The song is known for its calming acoustic sound, diverging from the bands usual hard rock style. It was written as a ballad about love and patience, likely inspired by the band members relationships at the time.

Shed a tear cause I'm missing 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
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar, make it slow and
It'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience (whispered)
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

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 shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it
Ahh, I'll never break it
Cause I can't take it


A little patience
Mmmmm yeah
Mmmmm yeah
Need a little patience
Yeaaaaah
Just a little patience
yeaaaaah

I've been walking the streets tonight
Just trying to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don’t like being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change but maybe the names
I ain't got time for the game
Cause I need you
Yeah yeah, well I need you
Ooooh, I need you
Woh, I need you
Ooooh, this time
