[Verse 1]
Well, now, we're respected in society
We don't worry about the things that we used to be
We're talking heroin with the president
Yes, there's a problem, sir, but it can't be bent
Ah, yes
Well, now, you're a pillar of society
You don't worry 'bout the things that you used to be
You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn
You're the easiest lay on the White House lawn
Get out of my life, don't come back
Get out of my life, don't come back

[Chorus]
She's so respectable, she's so respectable
She's so delectable, she's so respectable
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
What I say

[Chorus]
She's so respectable, she's so respectable
She's so respectable, so respectable
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Oh, get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Alright, boys

[Chorus]
She's so respectable, she's so respectable
She's so delectable, she's so respectable
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back (Woo)
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Come back, ow

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.
