Track 13 from "It's Five o'clock Somewhere" (1995).
Written mostly by Slash, he claimed in an interview that "it was the closest I ever got to writing a love song".


Lyrics:
They filled me full of promises
Till it burned the roof of my mouth
I thought these jokers were my friends
Until they sold me out

Speed freaks at my door
It's all the same to me
Everybody's barkin' up the same old tree

I hate everybody but you
And it won't get better soon
You rub me all the right ways, baby
You'll probably screw me, too

When you were told you're too old
To strip to pay your bills
You moved in with your loser friends
So you could take designer pills

Take it how you want it
Scream that you were framed
'Cause you beat my sister's looks and all
But the sex is just the same

I hate everybody but you
And it won't get better soon
You rub me all the right ways, baby
You'll probably screw me, too

Give it up
You still want more
I'll fight you to the end
You still want more
I put my heavy faith
Into a karma sucker's safe
Give it up
Give it up
Ooh, yeah

I hate everybody but you
Seems no matter what I do
I can't help feelin' paranoid
Of what's in it for you
I hate everybody but you
But I got no one else to turn to
If I end up getting screwed
Well, I might as well get screwed by you
