[Verse 1]
You can turn off and on more times
Than a flashing neon sign
When you want you're bad
But you can be so kind

[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life

[Verse 2]
There've been times when you tried makin' eyes
At all my so called friends
Then you go, now you're back
But you can be so kind

[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friends just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life

[Chorus]
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la

[Verse 3]
I'm sick and tired of the smile that you give
When you don't come home at night
You said you'd call, that's a lie
But you could be so kind

[Chorus]
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friends just what you're going to do now
You take it or leave it
It's just my life

[Outro]
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta, la la la la
Oh la la la ta, ta ta ta...

The Rolling Stones

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.
