[Verse 1]
You're awful bright, you're awful smart
I must admit you broke my heart
The awful truth is really sad
I must admit, I was awful bad
While lovers laugh and music plays
I stumble by and I hide my pain
Mmm, the lamps are lit, the moon is gone
I think I've crossed the Rubicon

[Chorus]
And I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of fears

[Verse 2]
While music pumps from passing cars
A couple watch me from a bar
A band just played the wedding march
And the corner store mends broken hearts
And a woman asks me for a dance
Oh, it's free of charge, just one more chance

[Chorus]
Oh, but I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I
Walk the streets of love
For a thousand years

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, tell me now
Well, I, ayy
I walk the streets of love
Yeah, and they're drenched with tears, oh

[Bridge]
You had the moves, you had the cards
I must admit you were awful smart
The awful truth is awful sad
I must admit I was awful bad

[Chorus]
And I, I walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears
And I, I walk the streets of love
For a thousand years, oh

[Outro]
I, I walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears, oh
I, I
Oh, there's only one that love could hear my, oh
I, I
Yeah, and they're full of tears
Oh, everybody be talking 'bout it (I, I)
Oh, everybody be walking by
And I, yeah, but I felt that, I, oh, yes, that I
Oh, yes, I could (I, I)
Oh, that's deep, deep love
Yeah, they're drenched, they're drenched in tears
And I (I, I)
Oh, yeah, come on, give it to me now

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.
