[Verse 1]
Won't you give me the low down
Just as quick as you can
Baby, I've been out of touch
Just give me the scam
Don't give me the sports page, baby
No political news
Don't you give me the gossip

[Chorus]
Just give me the truth
Just between me and you
Give me the low down
If you can
Don't want a show down
I just want to know where I stand

[Verse 2]
Don't read me the horoscope babe
That isn’t what I need
Our future will never last
But that's between you and me
I don't want the movie section
I'll see for myself
I don't want the news that fits
Shove it back on the shelf

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
The headlines are screaming
They change everyday
As long as I isn’t in them
I'm happy that way
I know that you won't lie to me
But you hold back the truth
Please give me the low down
I can only get it from you

[Chorus]
Give me the truth
Just between me and you
Give me the low down
If you can
Don't want a show down
I just want to know where I stand
Give me the low down
As quick as you can

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.
