[Verse 1]
You offer me
All your love and sympathy
Sweet affection baby
It's killing me
Because baby baby
Can't you see

[Chorus]
How could I stop
Once I start baby
How could I stop once I start
How could I stop
Yeah yeah
How could I stop once I start

[Verse 2]
You look at me
But I don't know what you see
A reflection baby
Of what I want to be
I see your face
And I want to roll with it
But how could I stop
Baby how could I stop
How could I stop
Stop it, stop it
If I could, I'd take you all the way
Baby, baby listen what I say
There's even some things
That I just would not pay

[Chorus]
Because how could I stop
If I start babe
How could I stop
If I start
Start with you
How could I stop
If I start, baby
How could I stop
If I start with you

[Verse 3]
It's too easy to lay here at your feet
I couldn't take the heat
There's somewhere else
Maybe you should go
Baby maybe baby just a further down the road

[Chorus]
How could I stop
If I start with you baby
How could I stop
How could I stop
Once I start
You tell me baby
Once I've started with you
How could I stop
Once I start
Stop, stop, stop

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.
