Rolling Stones, The Stripped The Spider and the Fly



Sittin' thinkin' sinkin' drinkin'
(m. jagger/k. richards)
Wond'ring what I'll do when I'm through tonight

Smokin' mopin' maybe just hopin'
Sittin' thinkin' sinkin' drinkin'
Some little girl will pass on by
Wondering what i'd do when i'm through tonight
To wanna be alone
Smoking moping, maybe just hopin'
But I love my girl at home
Some little girl will pass on by
I remember what she said
Don't wanna be alone but i love my girl at home
She said, My! My! My!
I remember what she said
Don't tell lies!
She said, "my, my, my don't tell lies, keep fidelity in your head
Keep fidelity in your head!
My my my, don't tell lies. when you're done you should go to bed
My! My! My! Don't tell lies!
Don't say hi, like a spider to a fly
When you've done your show go to bed
Jump right ahead and you're dead"
Don't say Hi! like a spider to a fly

Jump right ahead and you're dead!
Sit up, fed up, low down go round

Down to the bar at the place i'm at
Sit up fed up low down go 'round
Sitting drinking, supereficially thinking
Down to the bar at the place I'm at
About the rinsed-out blonde on my left
Sittin' drinkin' superficially thinkin'
Then i said, "hi" like a spider to a fly
About the rins'd out blonde on my left
Remebering what my little girl said
And then I said Hi! like a spider to a fly

Rememb'ring what my little girl said
She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
She was coming flirty
I would have run away but i was on my own
She look'd about thirty
She told me later she's a machine operator
I would have run away, but I was on my own
She said she liked the way i held the microphone
She told me later she's a machine operator
I said my, my, like the spider to the fly
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
Jump right ahead in my web
I said, My! My! My! Like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web!
