[Verse 1]
Hey babe, what's in your eyes?
I saw them flashing like airplane lights
You fill my cup, babe, that's for sure
I must come back for a little more

[Verse 2]
You got my heart, you got my soul
You got the silver, you got the gold
You got the diamonds from the mine
Well, that's all right, it'll buy some time

[Verse 3]
Tell me, honey, what will I do
When I'm hungry and thirsty too?
I'm feeling foolish, and that's for sure
Just waiting here at your kitchen door

[Verse 4]
Hey baby, what's in your eyes?
Is that the diamonds from the mine?
What's that laughing in your smile?
I don't care, no, I don't care

[Verse 5]
Oh babe, you got my soul
You got the silver, you got the gold
You got your love, just leave me blind
I don't care, no, that's no big surprise

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.
