[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got Chinese boots
Yeah, you got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got a speed-freak jive

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you hear me knockin' on your window?
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door?
Can't you hear me knockin' down your dirty street, yeah?

[Chorus 1]
Help me baby, ain't no stranger
Help me baby, ain't no stranger
Help me baby, ain't no stranger

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you hear me knockin', ahh, are you safe asleep?
Can't you hear me knockin', down the gas light street?
Can't you hear me knockin', yeah, throw me down the keys?
C'mon!

[Chorus 2]
Hear me ringing big bell tolls
Hear me singing soft and low
I've been begging on my knees
I've been kickin', help me please

[Outro]
Hear me prowlin'
(I'm gonna take you down)
Hear me growlin'
(Yeah, I've got flat-ten feet now, now, now, now)
Hear me howlin'
(And all, all around your street now)
Hear me knockin'
(All around this town)

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.
