[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

[Verse 2]
I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll walk for miles, my feet are hurtin'
And all I want is for you to make love to me

[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see

[Verse 3]
I'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me

[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see

Oh little sister

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, such a pretty girl
Pretty, pretty, pretty, such a pretty
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
Come on baby please, please, please

[Verse 4]
I'll tell you you can put me out on the street
Put me out with no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

[Verse 5]
Yeah, all your sickness I can suck it up
Throw it all at me I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby that I don't understand
That keep on telling me I ain't your kind of man

[Verse 6]
Ain't I rough enough, oh honey
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough in love enough
Now c'mon, baby, please

[Outro]
I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

[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.
