[Verse 1]
Well if you call this a life
Why must I spend mine with you?
If the show must go on
Let it go on without you
So sick and tired hanging around with jerks like you

Who'll tell me those lies
And let me think they're true, yeah
What am I to do
You want it, I got it too

Though the laughs may be cheap
That's just 'cause the joke's about you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you
You're the first to get blamed
Always the last bitch to get paid

Oh, tell me those lies
Let me think they're true, yeah
I heard one or two
They weren't about me, they weren't about her
They were all about you

I may miss you
But missing me just isn't you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs

Tell me those lies
Let me think they're true
I heard one or two, and they weren't about me, they weren't about her
They're all about you, all about you
I'm so sick and tired
What should I do
You want it, want it, want it
You get it, get it, get it
So how come I'm still in love with you?

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.
