She comes on like a rose
And everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
You can look but you'd better not touch

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you
But poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you
But poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

No use in cryin' now, you'll get by somehow
You thought that you had me, just where i ought to be

You thought i was so much in love with you, yeah

Think you'd better find someone who's more your mind
Someone who be your clown
Someone who'll push you around

You thought i was so much in love with you, yeah

Do what you want to do, but now you know i've changed my mind
Did you believe i was a fool, that i never saw thru the wool you pull'd over my eyes
You can't send me away
Then we've never been the same, since you play'd your game
You 'll ask me back to stay

You thought i was so much in love with you, yeah

(nanker phelge)

Stoned
Out of my mind
Here i go
Ah, yeah
Where am i at?
Yeah, yeah

I wanna tell you 'bout a dance
That's goin' around
Everybody's doin' it
From the grownups down
Don't move your head
Don't move your hands
Don't move your lips
Just shake your hips
Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Shake your hip, babe

What you don't know
Don't be afraid
Just listen to me
And do what i say

Don't move your hands
Don't move your lips
Just shake your hips
Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Well ain't that easy

Well, i met a little girl
In a country town
She said, "what do you know
There's slim harpo!"
Didn't move her head
Didn't move her hands
Didn't move her lips
Just shook her hips
Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Well ain't that easy

Button your lip baby
Button your coat
Let's go out dancing
Go for the throat
Let's bury the hatchet
Wipe out the past
Make love together
Stay on the path

You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean

This coming and going
Is driving me nuts
This to-ing and fro-ing
Is hurting my guts
So get off the fence
It's creasing your butt
Life is a party
Let's get out and strut

You're not the only one
That's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions

You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Let's grab the world
By the scruff of the neck
And drink it down deeply
Let's love it to death
So button your lip
And button your coat
Let's go out dancing
Let's rock 'n' roll

You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean
You're not the only one
That's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions

I'm a gonna raise a fuss, i'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just a-trying to earn a dollar
Every time i call my baby, try to get a date
The boss says "no dice son you gotta work a-late"
Some times i wonder what i'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and pappa told me "son you gotta earn some
Money
If you wanna use the car to go a riding next sunday"
Well i didn't got to work told the boss i was sick
"now you can't use the car cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes i wonder what i'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

It's gonna take two weeks for i have my vacation,
I'm gonna take my problem to the united nations.
Well i told my congress man and he said, quote:
"i'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes i wonder what i'm a gonna do,
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Exile on mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down
Exile on mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down

[all down the line]
Mmm heard the diesel drumming all down the line
Mmm heard the wires a-humming all down the line
Oh, yeah heard the women sighing all down the line
Oh, yeah heard the children crying all down the line

All down the line we'll be watching out for trouble, yeah

[tumbling dice]
Women think i'm tasty
But they're always trying to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down
But baby, baby i don't need no jewels in my frown
'cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheating like i don't know how
But baby there's a fever in the funk house now
This low down bitchings got my poor feet a-itching
Do you know the deuce is still wild
Baby can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumbling dice

[intro]
Exile on mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down
Now let it loose, now come on, let it all hang down
Eh round up those people, move them out of town
Gimmie little drink from your loving cup
Now shake your hip mama, keep me all shook up
Feeling so doggone happy like a natural child
Oh help me do the boogie all down the line
Come on virginia, let's shoot some dice
My sweet black angel, shine a light

[shine a light]
Saw you stretched out in room ten o nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
Couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love
Berber, jewelry jangling down the street
Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet
Come out baby to get a high on you, my sweet honey love

May the good lord shine a light on you
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun.
Well you're drunk in the alley baby...

[happy]
Never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy,
Never blew a second chance

I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby baby keep me happy,
Baby keep me happy

Always took candy from strangers,
Didn't want to get me no trade
Never want to be like papa,
Working for the boss every night and day

I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby baby keep me happy,
Baby baby keep me happy

[outro]
Exile on mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down
Exile on mainstreet, it's a low down dirty ground.

In the winter when the cold comes
And the wind blows with a scornful spite
And the hard ground feels barren
And the forest is deathly quiet
And the whole world lies sleeping
There's a gypsy all dressed in white
Put my hand out, ask the question
Here's the silver, do you have the gift of sight

Can you break the spell
Can you ring the bell
Can you break the spell
It's cold black as night
I've got a hard heart
Since we've been apart
Can you break the spell
Break it all down tonight

In the springtime when the floods come
And the earth bursts with the terrible life
And the sun splash on the windows
There's a gypsy and he's all dressed in white
My heart burns with the question
Can you break the spell
Still hot as fire

Can you break the spell
Can you ring the bell
Can you break the spell
It's cold black as night
Cold black as night

(jagger/richards)

Didn't i see you down in san antone on a hot and dusty night?
We were eating eggs in sammy's when the black man there drew his knife.
Aw, you drowned that jew in rampton as he washed his sleeveless shirt,
You know, that spanish-speaking gentlemen, the one we all called "kurt."

Come now, gentleman, i know there's some mistake.
How forgetful i'm becoming, now you fixed your bus'ness straight.

I remember you in hemlock road in nineteen fifty-six.
You're a faggy little leather boy with a smaller piece of stick.
You're a lashing, smashing hunk of man;
Your sweat shines sweet and strong.
Your organs working perfectly, but there's a part that's not screwed on.

Weren't you at the coke convention back on nineteen sixty-five
You're the misbred, grey executive i've seen heavily advertised.
You're the great, gray man whose daughter licks policemen's buttons clean.
You're the man who squats behind the man who works the soft machine.

Come now, gentleman, your love is all i crave.
You'll still be in the circus when i'm laughing, laughing on my grave.

When the old men do the fighting and the young men all look on.
And the young girls eat their mothers meat from tubes of plasticon.
Be wary of these my gentle friends of all the skins you breed.
They have a tasty habit - they eat the hands that bleed.

So remember who you say you are and keep your noses clean.
Boys will be boys and play with toys so be strong with your beast.
Oh rosie dear, doncha think it's queer, so stop me if you please.
The baby is dead, my lady said, "you gentlemen, why you all work for me?"

(jagger/richards)

Hey babe, what's wrong with you, girl
The good lord bring your front dean
I have come around ringing your front door bell
Though our love fall down in dark clouds
Though i saw a man

Alright

Here we go down now
Here we go down
There's nothing for me but the powers that be
I know i, i know i, i know i,
That you're down
Oh you're going down

(jagger/richards)

Baby, baby, baby, baby...

Daddy drunk, daddy drunk himself to death
When he was thirty-five years old
Left five daughters an' book 'em on the cayman row
Put 'em down an' left an' he left all pain to me
An' a pullin' outta dallas
An' the dirt back in tennessee

So i called big sister on the telephone
I said how y'all down there in 'ere call t'home
Girl you won't starve for fortune and fame
To earn big money in dallas and make her name

Lonely hearts
They're just made to break
There ain't no spare parts
Ain't no oil to change

Honey, i ain't accustomed to lose
If i want somethin' bad
I always find a way to get thru

I tell ya somethin'
I ain't accustomed t'lose
If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get thru

Lonely hearts
They're just made to break
There ain't no spare parts
Ain't no oil to change

I could be there thanksgiving afternoon
With a turkey in m'hand
And ah oughta buy a bottle o' boo'...
I took a short cut about a quarter down
The turnpike road
And i'll fill 'er up with gas
Ah'm a fill 'er 'bout san antone
An' i'll make it t'dallas 'bout a quarter pa'...half past three
Just another 30 miles
On the road back to 443

You know, lonely hearts
They're just made to break
There ain't no spare parts
There ain't no oil to change

I tell ya
I ain't accustomed to lose
If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get it, baby
Including you

I tell ya something
I ain't ever gonna lose
If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get it, baby
Including you

I could be there thanksgiving afternoon
If i start off now put my foot down the floor, damn too

I spoke to big sister on the telephone
She said come on big brother
Why don't you come on back home

I said, lonely hearts
They're just made to break
There ain't no spare parts
Aint' no oil to change

I tell ya, honey
I ain't accustomed to lose
If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get it, mmmmm
Talkin ' bout you

If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get it don't i?

If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get it don't i?

If i want somethin' strong enough
I always find a way to get it

Baby! shoo-gahh!
Ahhhh, yah, yah, yah...

Tell ya somethin', babe
I ain't accustomed to lose

If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get it

If i want somethin' bad enough
I always find a way to get it

Lonely hearts
They're just made to break
There ain't no spare parts
There ain't no oil to change

Lonely hearts
They're just made to break
Ain't no spare parts
There ain't no oil to change

Now, i'm, i'm a-comin' back
Comin' back a'home thursday afternoon
If i don't tumble down hard
Really like a way to get thru

Chief to scorn his friends make love to his
Re-la-tions
He beats his wife and made her life a to-tal
Wet va-ca-tion

Now did everybody pay their dues?
Now did end up with tribal blues?
All the braves and squaws and the maids
And the whores
Did, everybody pay their dues?

He's a tribal chief his name is called
Dis-order
His flesh and blood he tears it up when
Acting right is nor-mal

Now did everybody pay their dues?
Now did any of them try to refuse?
All the braves and squaws and the maids
And the whores
Did, everybody pay their dues?

See all the children roses pi-lling
What's all with us to be grown up is to be
Good at ly-ing

Now did everybody pay their dues?
Now did any of them try to refuse?
All the braves and squaws and the maids
And the whores
Did, everybody pay their dues?

Will you, will you, will you be my lover tonight?
Will you, will you, will you hold me tight?
I've been waiting such a long long time
To here you say that you'll be mine
Will you, will you, will you be my lover tonight?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, you want me too
Tell me, tell me, tell me, i need you
When i saw you over there
What could i do but stand and stare
Will you, will you, will you be my lover tonight?

I don't pretend to know the reason why
I love you so don't ever make me cry, no no no no no

Give me, give me, give me your whole heart
Promise, promise, promise when we're apart
You'll be faithful, you'll be true
Just remember, i love you
Will you, will you, will you be my lover tonight

I'll be faithful, i'll be true
Just remember, i love you
Will you, will you, will you be my lover tonight?

The queen of the nile
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with gold
Royal purple the sails
So sweetly perfumed
And poor mark antony's
Senses were drowned
And his future was doomed

He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love

The philistines paid
For samson's blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed

He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love

Now it's no use crying or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me

The poor prince of wales
He gave up his crown
All for the trivial pursuit of
A parvenu second-hand lady
So lovers beware
If you lose your heart
Careful now, don't lose your mind
Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger

Don't be blinded by love
Don't be blinded by love

Blinded by love
Blinded by love

Aka rice crispies jingle


Wake up in the morning there's a snap
Around the place
Wake up in the morning there's a crackle
In your face
Wake up in the morning there's a pop that
Realy says
"rice crispies for you and you and you"

Pour on the milk and listen to the snap that
Says: "it's nice"
Pour on the milk and listen to the crackle
Of that rice
Get up in the morning to the pop that says:
"it's rice"
Hear them talking crisp. rice crispies!!

Walkin'thru' the sleepy city
In the dark it looks so pretty
Till i got to the one cafe
That stays open night and day

Just a lookin' at the sleepy city
In the night it looks so pretty
No one sees the city lights
They just care about the warmth inside

No one listens to what people say
I just sit and hear the radio play
Just then this girl walked in my way
And she was as pretty as my sleepy city

Will you walk through the sleepy city
In the night it looks so pretty
Tired of walkin on my own
It looks better when you're not alone

Will you walk through the sleepy city
In the night it looks so pretty
I'm tired of walkin on my own
It looks better when you're not alone

Mm mm mm mm mm mm
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Will you walk through the sleepy city
In the night, well it looks so pretty
I'm tired of walkin on my own
It looks better when you're not alone

C'mon walk through that sleepy city
I said in the night it looks so pretty
I'm tired of walkin that park on my own
It looks better when you're not alone

(m. jagger/k. richards)

Spendin' too much time away
I can't stand another day
Maybe you think i've seen the world
But i'd rather see my girl

I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,

Maybe alright in their way
But i'd love to see your face

I'm goin' home, i'm goin' home

I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home

Through the lonely nights i think of you
Through the lonely hoursi dream of you
I don't no why i do it, but i do
Why do you take it, what's wrong with you?
Ev'ry time i see ya
Ev'ry time i see ya
Ev'ry time i see ya
Ev'ry time i see you

With the lonely weekeend i'm far from you
Why you're coming on, like you're supposed to do?
Oh, but you know me so well,
And your time ain't so hard to sell.

In your cherry dresses and your shiny shoes
In a doorway on some neon walk
Making the lonely pay for me
Why don't we set eachother free.

When did i mislead ya
When did i mistreat ya
When did i mistreat ya
When did i deceive ya

I stand accused of talking
But i feel that we are falling
In the same old groove
The radio is playing
Spitting out the same old news

It's time to get up, get out
Get out into something new
Time to get up, get out
Out into something new

Everybody wants somebody's fantasy
Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams
Everybody wants somebody's fantasy
Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams

If i was a woman, i would want a new man every night
If i was a woman, i would want a new man every night
If i was a politician, make sure i was the best in sight
If i was a woman, i would want a new man every night

The poor man eyes the rich man
Denigrates his poverty
The rich man eyes the poor man
And envies his simplicity

Everybody wants somebody's fantasy
Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams

If i was a movie star, five million dollars would be my price
If i was a trucker, i'd drive for seven days and seven lonely
Nights
If i was a drummer, i would never miss the beat
If i was a dancer, y'all would never see my feet
If i was a hooker, a thousand dollars would be my price, all
Right
If i was a candidate for president, i'd make sure i had a
Steady wife
If i was a millionaire, i'd spend all my money in one crazy
Night

I am what i am
(?) boss ??
I am what i am
My dreams can't be bought
Yeah, i said now here comes a dollar fifty(?)
Stranding in new york(?)
Yeah, i am what i am
(?)

Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams
Everybody want somebody's fantasy
Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams

(jagger/richards)

Someone woke me up this mornin' and i lit a cigarette
Found myself when i stopped yawnin', started
Getting myself dressed
Then i felt i had a dream, i remembered the
Things i'd seen
I could still hear the things you said with that bad
Dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

So i called you on the phone and your friend said
"she's not home"
So i told her where i'd be at and that you should
Call me back
Then i looked at the morning mail, i was not even
Expecting a bill
Your letter a-started "dear", and it left me
With these tears.
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

Think of the times that we had rows, but we
Patched them up somehow
Think of the times i tried to go, but you screamed
And told me no
There is only one thing in this world that i can't
Understand, that's a girl
I keep a-readin' the things you said, like a bad
Dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

Oh, what a sad, sad, old day - a sad, old day
It was a sad, old day
A sad, old day. it was a bad, old day,
Sad old day a bad old day
If there is one awful thing in this world that i can't
Understand, that's a girl
It was a sad, sad old day, sad old day
It was a sad, old day

(robinson/white)

If it's love that you're running from
There's no hiding place
Just your problems, noone else's problems
You'll just have to face
But if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all the trouble behind

Keep on walking - dont look back!

If your first lover let you down
There's something that can be done
Don't fear the faith and love
Remembering what will come
So, if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all the trouble behind

Keep on walking - dont look back!

Last night i needed you so bad
I was alone and feeling sad
But now that i recall, you left me after all
The only girl i've ever had

I never ever made you cry
No no, i didn't even try
You promised you'd be true, you said you'd love me too
My only girl told me a lie

Maybe there'll come a day, when i can smile and say
She used to be my girl

But now there's nothing left to say
She only wanted me for play
I learned my lesson fast, but now i know at last
That girl belongs to yesterday

(m. jagger/k. richards)

My spirit is winging
My soul is free
I'm doing my drinking
In good company
The music's screaming
My feet are flying
Everybody's laughing
And nobody's crying
Sneak suspicion
It drags me down
A nagging feeling
Going round

Hearts for sale
Going cheap
Hearts for sale
Lovers' leap

My belly's full
My glass is brimming
The women look so beautiful
And i feel like singing
The voice of conscience
The voice of reason
Is yacking in my plans
I call that treason

Hearts for sale
Going cheap
Hearts for sale
Blood runs deep

I'm losing my willpower
My blood's running cold
My body's on pause
My mind's stuck on hold
There ain't nothing i can do about it
Sneak suspicion
It drags me down
Nagging feeling
Going round

Hearts for sale
Going cheap
Hearts for sale
Blood runs deep
Hearts for sale

I don't need a doctor
I need a deputation
You don't want my loving
You can just take my resignation
I'm under the hammer
I'm a full time worker
I'm a real body slammer

(jagger/richards)

I've got itchy fingers, i've got muddy feet
And my mind is wanderin' in the steamin' heat
My head is swimmin' full of dirty lies
I'm tired of spinnin' freaky alibis

I need open spaces to clear my head
Need a clearer view on the road ahead
Need to fill my tank, check the oil
Fix the air conditioner or i'm gonna boil

I'm gonna drive
I'm gonna drive
To the edge of this-uh world

I've seen fire, disaster and hurricane
And sad eyed people and dirty dreams
And battered suit cases and cryin' kids
And resignation at how life is

And easy money and whinin' flow
And pretty pictures of sailin' boats
And double dealers who take it back
If he should mud yer daughter, throw 'im back

I'm gonna drive
I'm gonna drive
I'm gonna drive
I'm gonna drive
To the edge of this-uh world

I'm goin' through a desert across a plain
To the lonely mountain full of cloud and rain
Gonna scream out loud at the risin' sun
Gonna ask for pleasure when my day is done
Yeah, baby, hear my prayin'

I'm gonna drive
I'm gonna drive
I'm gonna drive
I'm gonna drive
To the edge of this-uh world

(reed)

I could ride around the world in an old oxcart
And never let another girl thrill my heart

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin' and my kissin' belong to just one

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat
I'd give 'em all to you and never take one back

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

I'm putting on my sunday suit and i'm goin' downtown
But i'll be kissin' your lips before the sun goes down

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Well, i was happy here at home
I got everything i need.
Happy bein' on my own
Just living the life i lead.

Well, suddenly it dawned on me
That this was not my life.
So i just phoned the airline girl
And said, "get me on flight number 505,
Get me on flight number 505."

Well, i confirmed my reservation.
Then i hopped a cab.
No idea of my destination
And feeling pretty bad.

With my suitcase in my hand.
In my head, my new life.
So then i told the airline girl
"well, get me on flight number 505,
Get me on flight number 505."
Alright.

Well, i sat right there in my seat.
Well, feeling like a king.
With the whole world right at my feet.
"of course i'll have a drink!"

Well, suddenly i saw
That we never ever would arrive.
He put the plane down in the sea.
The end of flight number 505.
The end of flight number 505.
Alright.

Whew, they put the plane down in the sea.
The end of flight number 505.
The end of flight number 505.

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and i feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

(richards/oldham)

Here i am
All alone and all dressed up to kill
Cause i'd much rather be with the boys
Than be with you

Here i am
With the gang, i don't care where you are
Cause i'd much rather be with the boys
Than be with you

I hold up my head up high when i walk down the street
Now i'm a man i'm standing on my own two feet
Don't try to call me cause now i know the score
And now i know that i don't need you anymore

Don't put me on
It's over now, it's no good looking back
Cause i'd much rather be with the boys

Who's fooling who
It's over now and you've had all your headache from me
Cause i'd much rather be with the boys
Yes i'd much rather be with teh boys
Yes i'd much rather be with the boys
And the boys and the boys they would
Much rather be with the boys than with girls like you

Girls like you
Girls like you......

Do you think i could ever care
'bout a girl, who's never there?
Do you think i could ever care
'bout a girl who's never there?
I saw her on the subway
Saw her on the d-train
Saw her in the afternoon
After all the giants' games
Saw her on the freeway
Saw her on a highway
Gimme a break, i need a yellow cab
Help me get outta this rain

Do you think i could ever care
'bout a girl who's almost never there?
Do you think the clothes she wears
Would change my mind
Or turn my hair?
I saw her on a freeway
Saw her on a a-train
Saw her hangin' out
On 52nd and broad
Saw her on a highway
Saw her on a skyway
Ahhhh, need a yellow cab, ronnie
Let me get outta the rain

Yeah......g'head
Good job
Yeah!

I saw her on a highway
On a d-train
I saw her eatin' a pizza
On 75th and broadway
Saw her on a subway
On a biplane
Ahh, i'm getting tired o' this shit
I need a yellow cab
Help me get outta this rain

Do you think i could ever care
'bout a girl who's almost never there?
Do you think ......could ever care
'bout a girl who cares about the...the clothes she wears?
Do you think i could ever care
'bout a girl that even dyes her hair?

The song
Do you think
Whooo
Oh no
Whooo

Ohhh, do you think i would really care
'bout a woman......who's never there?
Do you think i'd ever care
'bout a woman....the clothes she wears?

'bout a girl who's hardly ever there?
Whooo! whooo!
Well, that's alright
Whooo

You said you was hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.

You love him more when you should love him less.
I pick up behind him and take his mess.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.

He love another woman and i love you,
But you love him and stick to him like glue.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.

Now you better leave him; he better put you down.
Oh, i won't stand to see you pushed around.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.

Anyway you look at it
From any point of view
You must admit i'm lucky
To be in love with you

And people say i'm cynical
They never want the truth
But life will have more twists and turns
Then found in any book
Mmm, mmm, mmm

And i may travel far away
Across the seas of doom
To undiscovered countries
But i'll come back to you

Anyway you look at it
Any point of view
Ooh babe, babe
Anyway

Anyway you look at it
When the camera shoots
Seen from any angle
I'm still in love with you
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Anyway you look at it
Anyway you will
Like a beacon shining out
I'll be there for you
Mmm, mmm, mmm

(m. jagger/k. richards)

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm lazy as a lion
My body's just for you
Crazy for you
I'm sneaky as a snake
I'm dirty as a dog
I'm rutting like a goat
I'm horny as a hog
Terrifying love

I get these strange strange strange desires
Strange strange strange desires

You're graceful as a bird
My heart is on the wing
You're gentle as a dove
If a humming bird could sing
Crazy for you
You're gunning like a deer
I'm wily as a fox
You're faster than a mare
I'm stronger than an ox
Terrifying love

I get these strange strange strange desires
Strange strange strange desires
Strange strange strange desires

I'm faithful as a swan
I'm darker than a bat
I'm friendly as a bear
And tougher than a rat
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm restless as a cat
All caged up in a zoo
Terrifying love

I get these strange strange strange desires
Strange strange strange desires
Strange strange strange desires

We're wastin time
Inside my mind
The thought her won't go away come every day
We're just wasting time

We're wasting time
My clothes are fine
Still fresh and clean
Her sweet perfume in our old room
We're just wasting time

With that face that i've seen
Maybe thinks the same as me
Well nothing that we're learning
While the hands keep turning

Oh girl! oh girl! can't you see
We're wasting time inside your mind
The thought of him won't go away come every day
We're just wasting time

Oh girl! oh girl! can't you see
We're wasting time inside your mind
The thought of him won't go away come every day
We're just wasting time

Oh wer're just wastin time
We're just wastin time
We're just wastin our time
Oh we're just wastin our time, darling
Don't you know we're wastin our time

Beautiful delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passin' by
Every time you see her she's with a different guy
Beautiful delilah, that's the reason why

Chorus:
The better don't allow me fool around with you
You are so tantalizing you just can't be true

Beautiful delilah, dressed in the latest style
Swingin' like a pendulum, walkin' down the aisle
Deep romantic eyes, speak so low in miles
Maybe she will settle down and marry after a while

[chorus]

Beautiful delilah, bathin' in the sun
An audience of 17, and notice not a one
Local casanova who wouldn't be outdone
Let her steal his heart away, break it just for fun

(hey, can't you have this in mono?)
I musta been foolish, i musta been blind
I musta been crazy, and out of my mind
For so long

Minutes turn to hours, and hours turn into
Days
The storm started howlin', i'm out of my
Brain
I'm out of my brain
For so long

The fall turned into winter, the winter
Turned into rain
The storm started howlin', i'm out of my
Brain
I'm out of my brain, i'm out of my mind
For so long
So long
So long
So long
So long
Out of my mind for so long

Felt a mighty rumble, comin' from the
Ground
The house it started shakin', and tumblin'
Down
Tumblin' down
For so long
For so long

Musta been crazy, i musta been blind
Musta been foolish, and out of my mind
Out of my mind
For so long
So long
So long
So long
So long
Mmmh mmmh
Uh uhh
So many days
Uh uhh
So many damn days

Hey, hey, baby, honey what's wrong with you?

Long distance in formation, give me memphis tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but i know who placed the
Call
'cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the
Wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from memphis
Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the mississippi bridge

Help me, information, more than that i cannot add
Only that i miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in memphis tennessee

Last time i saw marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her
Eye
Try to put me through to her in memphis tennessee

Shang a doo lang, shang a lang doo lang
Shang a doo lang, shang a lang doo lang
Shang a doo lang, shang shang a doo lang
Shang a doo lang, shang a lang doo lang

Well you tell me, that he really loves me
I know he told me, that he really wants me
But what he don't know, is that i love him too

He said he'd seen me, goin' out with charlie
I only did it, to make him really want me
You say you'll get me, but i'll get him too

Shang a doo lang, shang a lang doo lang
Shang a doo lang, shang a lang doo lang
Shang a doo lang, shang shang a doo lang
Shang a doo lang, shang a lang doo lang

But now i think the time is right
So let him take me out tonight

I really love him, yes i really love him
I really want him, yes i really want him
Yes i love him, tell him i love him too
Yes i do, yes i do, yes i do, yes i do

The wind blows rain into my face
The sun glows at the end of the highway
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

She shivers, by the light she is hidden
She flickers like a lamp lady vision
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

The first car on the foggy road riding
The last star for my lady is pining
Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky faced,
Wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

I don't care if your love grows cold
Found love in someone else's home
Don't like standin' in the snow

Everything's turning to gold
Everything's turning to gold
Everything's turning to gold

You used to know me long ago
Was so lost and way down low.
Now that the love juice starts to flow,
Now that the love juice starts to flow,
Everything's turning to gold
Everything's turning to gold

Everything's turning, everything's turning
Everything's turning, everything's turning to gold

I'm tired, i'm tired of doing what i'm told.
Things are moving way too slow.
I got no problems, i got no problems, child.
It ain't my business, it ain't my business, ain't my style.
Now that the love juice starts to flow,
Now that the love juice starts to flow.

Well she drew out all her money out from southern trust
And put a little boy aboard a greyhound bus
Leaving lousiana for the golden west
Down came her tears from her happiness
Her own little son named johnny b goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood

Bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye
Bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode

Well she remember taking money out from gathering crops
And buying johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he could play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss

Bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye
Bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode

Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad tracks
And everytime they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a standing, waving in the kitchen door

Howling bye bye bye bye
Now bye bye bye bye
Bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode

Hold on to your head
Hold on to your hat
You're screaming down the alley
And never coming back
Get out of my bod
Get out of the sack
Don't give me no lip
Don't give me no crap
No way

Get out the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Got to, got to get out

Get out of my face
Get out of my shack
Now you've had a fair share
You had a fair whack
Hold on to your butt
Hold on to your hat
You're heading out of here
And never coming back

Get out the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
We'll never make it
Don't you fake it
You're getting loaded
I'm getting goaded
Got to, got to get out

Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your hat
Don't give me no shit
Don't give me no crap
Hold on to your head
Don't give me no rap
I've had it up to here
With your yackety-yak

You're getting loaded
I'm getting goaded
We'll never make it
Don't fake it
Get out the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Got to, got to get out
Got to, got to get out

Come on baby
Come on baby
Burn it all down
I'm over with ya baby

I'm over with ya baby
Get up--get out

I've been working so hard, and feelin' no
Pain

Limp
Don't want to hear no noise, don't want to
Hear you cuss
I need peace of mind, don't you make no
Fuss

Jump on top of me baby, jump on top of
Me baby
Jump on top of me girl, give it to me nice

Well there's too much talkin', 'bout this an'

The phone
Well you call this bisque, well i'm leavin'

Me baby
Jump on top of me girl, give it to me nice

Alright

Well jump on top of me baby, jump on
Top of me baby
Get on top of me girl, everybody lay down
Low

When we first met, we were both so
Young
We didn't give a damn, how the clock
Would run
The time is right, to make some fool of
You
'cause it's gettin' late, what would you like
To do

Jump on top of me baby, get on top of me
Baby
Jump on top of me girl, give it to me nice
And slow

(chuck berry)

Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
All day long i'm walkin' 'cause i couldn't get my car started
Laid off from my job and i can't afford to check it
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it

Come on, since me and my baby parted
Come on, i can't get started
Come on, i can't afford to check
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it

Everything is wrong since i've been without you
Ev'ry night i lay awake thinkin' about you
Ev'ry time the phone rings it sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy try'n' to reach another number

Come on, since i've been without you
Come on, always thinkin' about you
Come on, phone sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy try'n' to reach another number

Everything is wrong since i last saw you, baby
I really wanna see you and i don't mean maybe
I'm doin' ev'rything try'n' to make you see
That i belong to you, hon, and you belong to me

Come on, i wanna see you, baby
Come on, i don't mean maybe
Come on, i'm try'n' to make you see
That i belong to you and you belong to me

Come on, i gotta see you, baby
Come on, i don't mean maybe
Come on, i've gotta make you see
That i belong to you and you belong to me

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Well there's a hole in my chest
Where my heart was
The body refuses to die
And the rain's coming down
The night wont end
It looks like it's set for the night

There's a train pullin' in at the station
And its wheels gonna take me home
When love walks in
And love walks out
I'm movin' to the danger zone

Well i wont breathe a word about it
Cross my heart and hope to die
I give you all the love
In this mighty world
Stand up and testify

I'm a' honest man
I'm a' honest lover
Stand by my word
Don't know no other

I'm a' honest man
I'm a' honest lover
Don't tell my friend
Don't blow my cover

Now there's some wild talkin' innuendo
An' some nasty nail-biting games
When the sun comes up
Look me right in the eye
And tell me you don't feel ashamed

Well, i won't breathe a word about it
Cross my heart and hope to die
When love walks out
And love walks in
The fall-man is gonna cry

I'm a' honest man
I'm a' honest lover
Don't tell my friend
Don't blow my cover

I'm a' honest man
I'm a' honest lover
Don't tell my friend
Don't blow my cover

Now there's a hole in my chest
Where my heart was
And nothing's gonna stop the pain
When the train pull out
The night comes in
Thinkin' of me once again

And i wont breathe a word about it
I know i'm gonna take the blame
Give you all the love
In this mighty world
If you just let me clear my name

I'm a' honest man
I'm a' honest lover
Don't tell my friend
Don't blow my cover

I'm a' honest man
I'm an' honest lover
Tell my friend
Don't know no other

Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah

C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon

Mmh-hmm
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Mmh-hmm
Mmh-hmm
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Mmh-hmm...

Hello, baaaaby!
Yeah, this is the big bopper speakin'
Ha ha ha ha ha! oh, you sweet thing!
Do i what? will i what?
Oh baby, you knoooow what i like!

Chantilly lace had a pretty face and a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk
Make the world go 'round
Ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a--oh baby, that's a-what i like!

What's that, baby?
But... but... but... oh, honey!
Oh baby, you know what i like!

Chantilly lace had a pretty face and a ponytail hangin' down

(m. jagger/k. richards)

I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she wears
Look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she combs her hair
Look at that stupid girl

The way she powders her nose
Her vanity shows and it shows
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl

I'm not talking about the way she digs for gold
Look at that stupid girl
Well, i'm talking about the way she grabs and holds
Look at that stupid girl

The way she talks about someone else
That she don't even know herself
She's the sickest thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl

Well, i'm sick and tired
And i really have my doubts
I've tried and tried
But it never really works out

Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl

It doesn't matter if she dyes her hair
Or the color of the shoes she wears
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl

Shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
Shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
Shut-up, shut-up, shut-up

Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl

She purrs like a pussycat
Then she turns 'round and hisses back
She's the sickest thing in this world
Look at that stupid girl

(morganfield)

Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We've got a long way to go

You're standing on your side
I'm standing on mine
It only needs one step
And you could be crossing the line
There's nothing between us
Or maybe too much
Whatever it is it's too fragile to touch

Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe, you've got a long way to go

And who jumps the fences
And who builds the walls
Whoever takes chances must surely fall

Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
You'll be safe and sound
You've got a long way to go
Babe, too far to go
Too far to go

There's no river running
That we can't cross
Does one or the other of us
Have to be the boss

Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
A long way to go

Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Long way to go

Long way to go
You've got a long way to go

(jagger/richards)

You're looking good baby
I love to see my baby smile
You're looking good baby
I love to see my baby smile
You say you love me now but
You've got another man on the side

You're always hungry
You always want to drink
I love you so much baby
But i begin to think
Come here baby
I can see the glint in your eye
You say you love me now but
You've got a fancyman on the side

I love to dance with my baby
I love to while away the time
I love to dance with my baby
I love to while away the time
You've got some new steps now
You've got a fancyman on the side

You're looking good baby
I love to see my honey smile
You're looking good baby
I love to see my baby smile
You say you love me now but
You've got a fancyman on the side
