[Verse 1]
Here I am
All alone and all dressed up to kill

[Chorus]
Because I'd much rather be with the boys
Than be with you

[Verse 2]
Here I am
With the gang, I don't care where you are

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I hold up my head up high when I walk down the street
Now I'm a man I'm standing on my own two feet
Don't try to call me cause now I know the score
And now I know that I don't need you anymore
Don't put me on
It's over now, it's no good looking back

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Who's fooling who
It's over and you've had all your getting from me

[Chorus]
Because I'd much rather be with the boys
Yes I'd much rather be with the boys
Yes I'd much rather be with the boys
And the boys they would much rather be with the boys than with girls like you

[Outro]
Girls like you
Girls like you

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.
