[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
I love ya, love ya, love ya...

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
There's something I have to say

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
I could kiss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
And the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say
"Hey, what's the matter maaan?
We're going to come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls thats just dying to meet you
We're going to bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to
You've been standing too long
Sometime, ya know, hey man, what's with you?"
I say, "ah, you know, I've been standing too long
Ya know, sometimes I feel abandoned"
I sang

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
Oh everybody waits so long
Tell me, baby why you wait so long?
Come on, come on

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Shuffling on my feet
Asking people, (Ch-ch-ch), "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
I won't miss you child

[Guitar Solo 2/Outro]

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Yes, baby Yes! Yes! I miss you baby. Yes I miss you baby. When I get home tonight baby and there's no one there, I'll say goddamn. I miss you child

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.
