Alice In Chains - Whatcha Gonna Do Lyrics






Hey, now baby whatcha gonna do when I go?
Hey, now baby who ya gonna do when I'm gone?

As I watched you from above
Body glistened while I listened
To you screaming out his name in love
Oh, no, no

And hey, now baby
Whatcha gonna do when I go?

Hey, yeah, they say you love the girl
While I'm wasted as you taste it Wicked pleasures
Sins of flesh and blood

Woke up drunk in the morning
And sipping on my cup all day
Stone cold bitch you're ballin'
I'll bet you I'm about to stay

Well, you go down to the city
And you get yourself in line
'Cause if I don't need you baby
I'll catch you another time to get this

Hey, now baby
Whatcha gonna do when I go?
Hey, now baby
Who ya gonna do when I'm gone?

Hey, now baby whatcha gonna do when I go?
Hey, now baby who ya gonna do when I'm gone?
I'm asking whatcha gonna do?

  25. B.... S....

    how have I never heard this lol

    B.... S....

    yeah thats what im thinking.. wth?

    B.... S....

    It kinda sounds a lil like guns n roses in the middle.. i have no idea how I don't know this song though, Lol

    B.... S....

    I know what you guys mean, I just found a stack of these dusty AIC songs. Made my my day.

    B.... S....

    @Baad Season this song is an early one from AIC,it was from 1987-88 ish demo tape. you cant tell its a "early" song as its lacking the AIC "sound",which AIC would find as they wrote facelift.

    B.... S....

    Baad Season I know, and I'm 3 years behind you lol

  26. A.... S....

    Before heroin and crack?

    A.... S....

    @Springfeeeel lovely answer 

  27. a.... ....

    I never put the gnr-aic connection untill now,I hear it

  28. J.... E....

    I thought I was the only one who found the sound alike Guns N' Roses' ...

  29. J.... E....

    who the hell are you talking about?

  30. K.... J....

    lol it does sound a little gnr

  31. W.... ....

    Music Bank

  32. G.... B....

    AIC > GNR? No doubt. But there wouldn't be a Facelift without Appetite.

  33. T.... ....

    my everday sh*t given > GNR

  34. z.... ....

    From which album is this song?

    z.... ....

    It's not on an album

  35. p.... ....

    you dont hear it? its not like im the only one who noticed how its a GNR song. look at the other comments

  36. G.... T....

    and from where u got that ? "...Alice In Chains Whatcha Gonna Do Lyrics Songwriters: SIMMONS, EARL/WRITER UNKNOWN ...." - from lyricsfreak. From where the actual fuck did you got the info that this song is from GN'R ? You made me curious...

  37. p.... ....

    you do know this is a gnr song? thats where the comparison came from

  38. j.... ....

    The only time it sounds like guns n roses is when he sings really fast.

  39. D.... S....

    I meant the first 2 ... way before November Rain or Don't Cry....it's been a long time since I switched stations to one that never played those....

  40. D.... S....

    LOL ok .....it's been a while since i switched stations to one that didn't play November Rain LOL. I meant GnRs first 2 albums,whatever the 2nd was....when there was more that DIDNT get played on MTV from the album than DID....when they had some gritty edges...

  41. D.... S....

    Appetite definitely but wasnt there another before illusion?

  42. D.... S....

    Appetite definitely. Wasnt thier another before illusion?

  43. D.... S....

    Yeah their early stuff sounds like EARLY GnR...not their later stuff though,,,Axel lost it fast.....

  44. J.... C....

    Actually, it has hard rock and glam too

  45. U.... ....

    Wiki: Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal, and indie rock, grunge is generally characterized by heavily distorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics. The grunge aesthetic is stripped-down compared to other forms of rock music, and many grunge musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics.

    (translation: i.e. no light shows, makeup, pyrotechnics, props, showmanship, just raw music)
    Alice in Chain was/is Grunge.

  46. S.... V....

    NIce traaaackk!

  47. s.... ....

    You know what this song needs? More cowbell.

  48. L.... W....

    Its not punk or ne thing at all like that call it alice in chains

  49. s.... ....

    It's funny how everyone is arguing about the genre of this song and not getting it right. It's punk(call it new wave if you want to). They admitted some of their songs are punk and this is one of them, even if it may have other influences.

  50. E.... C....

    Layne looks so fukin high in this picture.

  51. C.... R....

    It's been a while since I last played this. Since then I've finally bought Mother Love Bone and I must say some parts to this song remind me of MLB.

  52. L.... B....

    @hardcorheadbanger they are a mix of everything Metal just sticks out the most

  53. C.... J....

    Why fight about who is better? I like them both. And in the genre they're in, they need all the loving fans they can get :)

  54. S.... ....

    AIC > GNR

  55. M.... ....

    i dont know what I'm gonna do Layne

  56. T.... ....

    GUNS n WHAT ??? forget THAT BITCH
    axl and HEAR these SONGS , THEY are WAY better THAN guns

  57. C.... R....

    @1969plymouthsuperbee IS

  58. J.... ....

    @1969plymouthsuperbee Not to mention that but every song is a fucking gem with AIC

  59. 2.... ....

    @1969plymouthsuperbee i think you mean IS so much better.

  60. A.... E....

    @1969plymouthsuperbee thats SO untrue

  61. N.... C....

    @ironnalfo music bank

  62. B.... E....

    thats what i asked her

  63. a.... m....

    what album is this ?¿'

  64. J.... J....

    yep this is mike starr all day wow almost impossible that i've never heard this it's not even on my discography, but damn i dig it raw 80s metal hell yeah has a iron maiden touch to it? layne and jerry are multi talented same as the rest of the band i guess lol

  65. j.... ....

    they had their glam years, this is awsome

  66. d.... p....

    fellas, i gotta have more cowbell! I gotta feva!

  67. E.... G....

    FUCK YEAH! Mike Inez and Sean Kinney are gods of musical rhythm!!!

  68. p.... g....

    LOL....I JUST TOLD THEM STUPID RAPPER FUCKHEADS....REPPEN THE 738 HOMIE...7 9 & 8

  69. U.... ....

    not heard this one b4, very cool, love these guys!
    Got Jerrrys autograph and shook his hand!

  70. b.... ....

    @1994Jordynn Yeah I know I said that haha, and AIC is lacking that part to be considered grunge. But, if grunge is more a musical "movement" then a genre, couldnt anyone fit into it? I'm starting to think of them just as groovy sorta slow chunky metal rather then grunge. All in all don't really matter, I just like a good comment when I'm listening.

  71. k.... ....

    @brendanleach Just sounds like rock to me, naming shit metal this, grunge that limits the bands, and puts expectations on them. No one wants to hear the exact same music all the time...

  72. t.... s....

    best song yet by them i relate to it seems all of aic. thas the reason theyr my fav band. i seen them couple months ago in asheville NC and all i can say it was the baddest fuckin shit. long live AIC

  73. J.... R....

    Sounds almost like a mix of Alice and Appetite for Destruction era Guns n' Roses.

  74. L.... O....

    @Jumpster8724
    Ahh, I didn't mean to give you a thumbs down :(
    I meant thumbs up!

  75. L.... O....

    I love this song!

  76. C.... R....

    Someday I shall get my hands on Music Bank so I can listen to all these great rare tracks.

  77. L.... ....

    More Cowbell!!! MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  78. P.... M....

    I think its just good hard rock

  79. A.... W....

    I guess I don't really consider Alice grunge.

  80. D.... S....

    is this an unreleased song or is it on an album?

    hm, it reminds me a bit of the stuff on guns n roses use your illusion I

  81. t.... m....

    this isn't grunge or heavy metal ... this is Alice in Chains

  82. L.... ....

    I feel the same way, the music being made right now is Hella artificial and I all I listen to is 90's music and Jimi Hendrix

  83. S.... W....

    Now you know where Guns and Roses got some of there stuff! RIP Layne Staley - you were the best!!!!

  84. A.... W....

    Grunge for the most part sucks. Alice was great.

  85. r.... ....

    I think a lot of people is missing the point, because "grunge" is NOT a genre. It was a musical movement.
    Just like NWOBHM was.

  86. w.... ....

    i agree.

  87. w.... ....

    I made alot of typeos there, i was trying to say im tired of people running away from the term grunge.

  88. c.... ....

    love it! :)

  89. d.... ....

    i think theyre actually pretty similar...axl has literally three distinguishable voices. and ive heard three completely different styles. like the we die young voice...nutshell...godsmack...theyre both diverse. but axl is an asshole

  90. G.... T....

    i've got this song stuck in my head

  91. H.... ....

    Chemical Addiction is one of their glam songs, and Fat Girls lol.

  92. d.... ....

    Lol was AIC ever glam? I do agree it sounds quite a bit like guns n roses...the difference being that layne is waaayy the fuck better than axle any day. Not to say axle isnt a good frontman but layne sang this way naturally, axle uses a falsetto which is why he sounds like shit now cause he burnt his voice so bad

  93. A.... L....

    ohh i just love how the drums come in on here!
    it gets me all pumped 4 the awesumness of this song

  94. e.... ....

    Awesome drums from Kinney! Also sick solo and little bass solos. This song is like a little song for mike and sean to show of a little

  95. t.... m....

    haha...nice one man!

  96. T.... ....

    jrednoring his vocals sound a little like axl rose in the beggining but i can see where your coming from. GUNS N ROSES!!!!

  97. E.... I....

    What the fuck?


    All Alice in chains songs are win you fucking IDIOT.
