[Verse 1]
Sitting in my bedroom late last night
Got into bed and turned out the light
Decided to call my baby on the telephone
All I got was an engaged tone

[Chorus]
It is off the hook[x5]

[Verse 2]
Talking so long she upset my mind
Why is she talking such a long time?
Maybe she is sleeping, maybe she is ill
Phone is disconnected, unpaid bill

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Do not want to see her, afraid of what I would find
Tired of letting her upset me all the time
Back into bed started reading my books
Take my phone right off of the hook

[Chorus]

The Rolling Stones

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.
