[Chorus 1]
Baby, break it down
Baby, break it down
We've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down
Baby, break it down
We've got a long way to go

[Verse 1]
You're standing on your side
I'm standing on mine
It only needs one step
And you could be crossing the line
There's nothing between us
Or maybe too much
Whatever it is it's too fragile to touch

[Chorus 2]
Baby, break it down
Baby, break it down
We've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe you've got a long way to go

[Verse 2]
And who jumps the fences
And who builds the walls
Whoever takes chances must surely fall

[Chorus 3]
Baby, break it down
Baby, break it down
Babe you've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down
You'll be safe and sound
You've got a long way to go
Baby too far to go
Too far to go

[Verse 3]
There's no river running
That we can't cross
Does one or the other of us
Have to be the boss

[Chorus 4]
Baby, break it down
Baby, break it down
Babe you've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down
Wrap your love around
Long way to go

Baby, break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe you've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down
Baby, break it down
Long way to go

Long way to go
Got a long way to go

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.
