You Could Be Mine Lyrics

I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I'll rip
your heart in two
An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
I'll be out the door before ya wake
It's nuthin' new ta you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie too

'Cause you could be mine
But...

    I think this song is about beating a dead horse and thinking about the one you like and thinking What its like 2 be With them and wanting to know someone But on the other side they dont want anything 2 do With you basiclly this song is about a relationship that you want But she doesnt want it and you think you could be mine

    Someone wrote that the song represented failed relationships and had nothing to do with T2.
    Clearly, Sarah Connor's effort to give son John a suitable Father-Figure was a FAIL.
    Resulting in her narrated thoughts about the T-800's suitability.

    Pretty much what the last one said, it most definitely is not written for the movie, I saw them perform this before the movie was a thing in north Carolina. It doesn't even make sense to the movie actually. It is about shitty relationships and/or lack there of one... f u c k I n g and the lack of love...

    It's about taking a big ol poop out of the toilet and calling it a song

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    It's for shadowing of splitting up his band.

    Ok straight up this song is easy to figure out. Yes, its used on the Terminator Two soundtrack and a lot of people think it was made solely for that. But, if you listen to the lyrics, Axel is stating that after the five years that he has dealt with constant bs that he is starting to go insane from all of it. He still wants to be with her but she needs to clean up her act.
