[Verse 1]
Well luck is expensive and freedom comes cheap
When love's on the menu, I don't drink so deep
Well I was just out there to have me some fun
But it's easier said than done
Mmm... We’re standing so far apart
We had a string of false starts
I can't seem to stop it now
It grows and it grows and it grows

[Chorus]
Stealing my heart, stealing my heart, stealing my heart
Yeah

[Verse 2]
My cards are on the table, you can look up my sleeves
You say you're honest but love is for thieves
Well I was just out there, chaste as a nun
But it's easier said than done
Yeah, like a shot in the dark
You shoot me right out the park
I can't seem to stop it
It grows and it grows and it grows

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well you've got no money and I've got no charm
While you're in a panic, I stay so calm
Well I was just out there to have me some fun
But it's easier said than done
Yes, yeah, I thought I was sharp
Yeah, you were a walk in the park
I thought you were dinner, but you were the shark

[Chorus] [x3]

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.
