[Chorus]
Well, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me

[Verse 1]
She said, "My breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy"

[Chorus]
Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it, baby, well, you can dream on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on, yeah
And if you want to, well, you can cream on me

[Verse 2]
I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement
When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea
But you knifed me in my dirty, filthy basement
With that jaded, faded, junky nurse - oh, what pleasant company Ha!

[Chorus]
Come on, we all need someone we can feed on
Yeah, and if you want it, well, you can feed on me
Hey, take my arm, take my leg
Oh baby, don't you take my head
Woo

[Chorus]
Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah, and if you want it, baby, well, you can bleed on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah yeah, and if you want it, baby, why don't you bleed on me ? (All over, woo!)

[Instrumental Bridge]
Yeah

[Verse 3]
(Come on, babe)
Ah, get it on rider, woo, get it on rider, get it on rider
You can bleed all over me, yeah
Get it on rider, woo, get it on rider, yeah
You can be my rider, you can come all over me, oh
Get it on rider, babe, get it on rider, get it on rider
You can come all over me

Yeah...

Come on, get it on, rider, let it come all over me
Yeah, yeah...
Get it on, rider
Get it on, rider

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.
