[Verse 1]
An empty heart is like an empty life
I said an empty heart is like an empty life
Well, it makes you feel like you want to cry
Like you want to cry
Well you've been my lover for a long long time[x2]
Well you left me all alone, and end my time
I want my lover again[x2]
I want it back again
Yeah, a little stick
Yeah, a little bit darling
Take it down
Yeah, take it down
Come on back to me, baby[x2]
Come on
Come on back to me
And I'll show you I'll show you
That a empty heart means a empty life
Yeah an empty heart like a empty life
Oh, it makes you feel like you want to die
Like you want to die
Like you want to die
(I want to die)

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.
