[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Who likes singing a little bit? Do you feel like singing a little bit? Okay here we go!

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
There's something I have to say

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
And the phone rang
It's just some friends of mine and they're gonna have a time
And they say "Hey, what's the matter man?"
We're going to come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls thats just dying to meet you
We're going to bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Oh everybody waits so long
Tell me, baby why you wait so long?
Come on, come on

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
I tell ya, I was walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Shuffling on my feet
People ask me, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to sing
And sometimes I want to play the bass

[Bass Solo]

C'mon, Bobby!

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.
