Still Life

(m. jagger/k. richards)

You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder
Can't you see the party's over
Let me go

Can't you get it through your thick head
This affair is finished - dead
Hey, let me go

I tried giving you the velvet gloves
I tried giving you the knockout punch
Hey, let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

I find it hard to be cruel
I find it hard to be cruel
With a smile, don't you?
You'll never find that perfect love
That you read about
That you dream about

Maybe i'll become a playboy
Hang around in gay bars
And move to the west side of town

You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder
Can't you see the party's over
Hey, let me go
Let me go

So you think i'm giving you the brush off
Well i'm just telling you to shove off
Hey, let me go

This ain't no time to waste my breath
We're going into sudden death
Hey, let me go

Can't you get it through your thick head
This affair is dead as a doornail
Hey, baby won't you let me go

The bell has rung, and i've called time
The chair is on the table, out the door baby

Baby won't you let me go
Let me go...

I look out my window watch her as she passes by
I say to myself i'm such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is a dream come true
And of all the girls in new york she loves me true

It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Soon we'll be married and raise a family
Two boys for you, what about two girls for me
I tell you i am just a fellow with a one track mind
Whatever it is i want baby i seek and i shall find

I'll tell ya
It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Every night i hope and pray
"dear lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or i will surely die"

Her love is ecstasy
When her arms enfold me
I hear her tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know... me

(jagger/richards)

My, my, my, my
Don't you worry 'bout what's on your mind (oh my)
I'm in no hurry i can take my time (oh my)
I'm going red and my tongue's getting tied (tongues's getting tied)
I'm off my head and my mouth's getting dry.
I'm high, but i try, try, try (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
Now i need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

I feel so strong that i can't disguise (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
But i just can't apologize (oh no)
Let's spend the night together
Don't hang me up and don't let me down (don't let me down)
We could have fun just groovin' around around and around
Oh my, my
Let's spend the night together
Now i need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together

Let's spend the night together
Now i need you more than ever

You know i'm smiling baby
You need some guiding baby
I'm just deciding baby; now-
I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together
Let's spend the night together now

This doesn't happen to me ev'ryday (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
No excuses offered anyway (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
I'll satisfy your every need (every need)
And i now know you will satisfy me
Oh my, my, my, my, my
Let's spend the night together
Now i need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

Oh i get a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin she's the queen
We go to dance on saturday night
I'm all alone and i hold her tight
But she live on the twentieth floor in town
The elevator's broken down

So i walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth i'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor i'm ready to drag
Get to the top, i'm too tired to rock

Well she called me up on the telephone
Said "come on over, baby, i'm all alone"
I said "baby, you're mighty sweet
But i'm in bed with the achin' feet"
This went on for a couple of days
But i could not stay away

So i walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth i'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor i'm ready to drag
Get to the top, i'm too tired to rock

Yeah, we sent to chicago for repairs
Till it's a-fixed i'm using the stairs
I love you, baby, wanna see your face
I love you baby, too much to wait
All this climbing is gettin me down
They'll find my cold feet over the rail

So i walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth i'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor i'm ready to drag
Get to the top, i'm too tired to rock

(meade)

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
You'll come running back (i said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me

Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

You're searching for good times
But just wait and see
You'll come running back (i won't have to worry no more)
You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me

Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do everything your heart desires
Remember, i'll always be around
And i know, i know
Like i told you so many times before
You're gonna come back, baby
'cause i know
You're gonna come back knocking
Yeah, knocking right on my door
Yes, yes!

Well, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

'cause i got the real love
The kind that you need
You'll come running back (said you would, baby)
You'll come running back (i always said you would)
You'll come running back, to me
Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I said, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side
Yeah, time, time, time is on my side
