[Verse 1]
I've been loving you too long to stop now
You were tied and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger as you become a habit to me
I've been loving you a little too long, I can't stop now

[Verse 2]
With you my life has been so wonderful, I can't stop now
You were tied and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair, affair grows old
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't want to stop now, oh, oh

[Outro]
I've been loving you a little too long, I can't stop now
Oh, oh, I can't, I can't stop now
Don't make me stop me now
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
I can't stop, I can't stop now
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me now, my, my, my
I can't, I can't stop loving you now
Oh no, no, no
My, my, my, my, my, my

[Audience Applause]

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.
