[Verse 1]
The stars in your eyes sets my soul on fire
Your voice is like an angel above me
The touch of your hand drives me insane
But baby, I want to be loved
I'm crazy about every little thing you do
I cherish the way you hug me
Your kiss so sweet, honey, it can't be beat
But baby, I want to be loved

[Chorus]
Every time I ask you for a date
You don't come at all or you're mighty late
I ask you to dance, take a little spin
You say, Wait a minute, daddy, here comes my friend

[Verse 2]
I love the way you walk when you pass me
By And even when you try to snub me
You kiss me, baby when you give me the eye
But baby, I want to be loved, alright

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I love the way you walk when you pass me by
And even when you try to snub me
You kiss me, honey when you give me the eye
But baby, I want to be loved

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.
