[Intro: Mick Jagger]
Yes, uh, Keith [something French] "Happy"

[Verse 1]
I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never kept a school mama happy, no
Never blew a second chance, oh no

[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby, won't you keep me happy? Yeah

[Verse 2]
Always took candy from strangers
Never wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day

[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love
Baby, won't you keep me happy?
Baby, won't you keep me happy?
Yeah
Here, Keith...

[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love, baby, to keep me happy
Baby, won't you keep me happy?
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Never got a flash out of cocktail
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Lear jet, no
When I can fly way back home

[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
Need a love, baby, won't you keep me happy?
Baby, won't you keep me happy?
Yeah, oh yeah

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love, baby, won't you keep me happy? (Woo!)
Baby, won't you keep me happy?
Yeah
Now keep me happy
Now keep me happy
Yeah, now keep me happy
Yeah
Now keep me happy
Yeah
Now keep me happy
Baa baa ba ba ba
Oh, yeah
Yeah
Now Happy
Oh yeah, too
Keep me happy

Yes, ah
Whoo!
All right!

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.
