Notes

Cobain provided back-up vocals on this Hole track, which was released on the album Live Through This.

Different versions, with different volume levels of Cobain's vocals, exist. It is hard to hear him on Live Through This, though Outcesticide V features a different version in which Cobain can be heard more clearly.

Some people claim that Cobain also played guitar on this track or that he wrote the song (or others on the Hole album). In fact, Cobain's involvement on the Hole album seems to be limited to backing vocals. An alternate mix of the song, with Cobain's vocals made more prominent, was scheduled for release as a single, but the plan was dropped after Cobain's death.

Lyrics

From Live Through This

Every time that I sell myself to you
I feel a little bit cheaper than I need to
I will tear the petals off of you
Rose red, I will make you tell the truth

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

Every time that I stare into the sun
Angel dust and my dress just comes undone
Every time that I stare into the sun
Be a model or just look like one
Wild eye rot gut do me in
Do you think you can make me do it again?

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

If you live through this with me
I swear that I would die for you
And if you live through this with me
I swear that I would die for you

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
If she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?
