[Verse 1]
You look a little dressed up
You're acting way too smart
Your face a little bit flushed
For a walk in the park
And you're clutching your phone
As you walk in the dark
And your smile's got a twist
You're looking so hardcore
If you've something to say
Don't be too direct
Because I feel a little fragile
Don't hit the nail on the head

[Chorus]
Why I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
Why I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
No no no

[Verse 2]
There's a swish in your step
There's a gleam in your eye
Are you coloring your hair
With some new kind of dye
But the first one to blink
Is the first one to fall
I don't want a confrontation
I've got my back to the wall

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oh baby, baby, let me down real slow
Let me stretch out in the afterglow
Oh na na na na
Let me down real slow
Oh na na na.. baby, let me down real slow

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
