Got Live If You Want It

(jagger/richards)


You're the kind of person
You meet at certain dismal dull affairs.
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud
Running up and down the stairs.
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years.
And though you've tried you just can't hide
Your eyes are edged with tears.

You better stop
Look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.

When you were a child
You were treated kind
But you were never brought up right.
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys
But still you cried all night.
Your mother who neglected you
Owes a million dollars tax.
And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax.

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nilne-teenth nervous breakdown.

Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane.
Well nothing i do don't seem to work,
It only seems to make matters worse. oh please.

You were still in school
When you had that fool
Who really messed your mind.
And after that you turned your back
On treating people kind.
On our first trip
I tried so hard to rearrange your mind.
But after while i realized you were disarranging mine.

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown

Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow
Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad i opened your eyes
The have-nots have tried to freeze you in ice

Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow
I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine

Tell me a story about how you adore me
Live in the shadow, see through the shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow
Hate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life

Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow
Has he had another baby, standing in the shadow
Baby, where have you been all your life
Talking about all the people who should try anything twice

Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline

Went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Siad she'd take a look at my palm
She said "son, you feel kinda warm"
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said "you're in love"

Said it could not be so
Not with all the girls i know
She said when the next one arrives
Looking into her eyes

I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day i discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as i could be
I told her i didn't see nobody
Why'd she make a fool out of me

Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Now i'm a happy fellow
Well i'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we can be
Now i get my fortune told for free

Now i'm a happy fellow
Well i'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we can be
And i get my fortune told for free

Well i told you once and i told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. oh no. oh no

Well, i'm sorry girl but i can't stay
Feelin' like i do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess i'll feel the same tomorrow

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. oh no. oh no

Well i told you once and i told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
'cuz i'll be gone a long, long time

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. oh no. oh no
Well, this could be the last time

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And i sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a union jack
And says, i've won five pounds if i have his kind of detergent pack

I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby

The telephone is ringing
I say, "hi, it's me. who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you
Well, i guess i'm doin' fine"
He says, "it's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?"

I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, i was so tired and i started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen

I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around, baby, two's a crowd
