If you can't rock me somebody will

The band's on stage and it's one of those nights
The drummer thinks that he is dynamite
I ain't talkin' about no pretty face
I ain't talkin' about no wedding cake

I've got one heart and it hurts like hell
If you won't rock me somebody will
If you won't rock me

Now, who's that black girl in the bright blue hair?
Now, don't you know that it's rude to stare?

But I been talking about it much too long
I think I better do just one more song
I've got one heart and it hurts like hell
If you won't rock me somebody will
If you won't rock me somebody will
If you won't rock me
If you won't rock me

If you won't rock me somebody will
If you won't rock me
If you won't rock me
If you won't rock me

Shake it down
Shake it down

I live on an apartment
On the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy
All dressed up just like a Union Jack
And he gives me twenty-five dollars
If I got his detergent pack

What do you say, baby?
"Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around cause two's a crowd
On my cloud"

I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out
I was tired, tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like a flag
Stuck on my windscreen

"Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around cause two's a crowd
On my cloud"

Hey
Someone say Hey!

"Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around cause two's a crowd
On my cloud"

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.
