[Verse 1]
I've been livin' my life just like a rolling stone
When I needed your love, baby, you're always gone

[Refrain]
In my life I know that something is missing
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving
I need more loving baby, I need more kissing
Now I want more of what you got

[Verse 2]
They say a rolling stone never gathers no moss
One day you will slow down and find that love is lost

[Refrain]
In my life I know that something is missing
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving
But, I need more loving baby, I need more kissing
Now I want more of what you got
Now I want more of what you got

[Bridge]
In a field, watch a flower grow
Love is just the same
All it needs is tender love and care
Behind the [?] it's cold and bare
Now I want more of what you got
Now I want more of what you got

[Refrain]
In my life I know that something is missing
Baby, grains of sand is really all you've been giving
I need more loving baby, I need more kissing
Now I want more of what you got
Now I want more of what you got

[Outro]
Now I want more of what you got

Grace Jones

Bervely Grace Jones is a Jamaican model, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress.

Grace started her career in the early 70s as a model. She worked with photographers such as Jean-Paul Goude, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and Hans Feurer, for fashion houses such as Yves St. Laurent and Kenzo, and appeared on the covers of Elle and Vogue. She became known for her distinctive androgynous appearance and bold features.

In 1977 Jones embarked on a music career, securing a record deal with Island Records and initially becoming a star of New York City’s Studio 54-centered disco scene. Her first album, Portfolio was released in September of that year, containing one of her greatest successes, her version of Edith Piaf’s “La vie en Rose”. In the 80s Grace reached the height of her career being, as pointed by Pitchfork, one of the early convergences of “fashion, art, and music”, influencing on the 1980s pop culture with albums like her iconic Nightclubbing (1981) and Slave to the Rhythm (1985), and her visual work with Jean-Paul Goude.
