Exile On Main Street Lyrics - 1972

[ Buy Exile On Main Street ]

(m. jagger/k. richards)

Grabbed hold of your coat tail but it come off in my hand,
I reached for your lapel but it weren't sewn on so grand.
Begged, promised anything if only you would stay,
Well, i lost a lot of love over you.
Fell down to my knees and i hung onto your pants,
But you just kept on runnin' while they ripped off in my hands.
Di'mond rings, vaseline, you give me disease,
Well, i lost a lot of lover over you.
I boogied in the ballroom, i boogied in the dark;
Tie you hands, tie you feet, throw you to the sharks.
Make you sweat, make you scream, make you wish you'd never been,
I lost a lot of love over you.
