[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
How's your singing out there tonight? You sound like a very vociferous lot I'll tell you. You feel like singing a little bit? Okay, wait until I tell you when

[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]

Shut the phone up!
Alright
Alright!
Shika-da, shika-da, shika-da, shika-da, shika-da

[Verse 4]
I've been 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?"
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Ok here we go, here we go, here we go

[Interlude: Mick Jagger & (Audience)]
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh-ooh-ooh) Ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh-ooh-ooh) Ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh-ooh-ooh) Ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Alright, that sound pretty good, how 'bout one more time?
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh-ooh-ooh) Ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Hit it boys!

[Saxophone Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Yeah you've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
I won't miss you, baby, yeah
You've been haunted in my sleep
Starring in my dreams
I miss you girl

[Refrain]
I miss you girl
I miss you girl
I miss you baby, when I walk around this way
I miss you girl
Yeah c'mon

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Let's take it out

[Outro]
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Come on! Come on!
I miss you girl

[Audience Applause]

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.
