Rolling Stones, The – All The Way Down

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I was twenty one naive

Not cynical, I try to please

Her wit, her speech, her repartee

Impressed me almost instantly

She went all the way

All the way down

She went all the way, all the way

She showed me love a hundred ways

How she pimped and how she paid

All the daughters, all the sons

All were welcome, all would come

We went all the way

All the way down

We went all the way, all the way

I was King, Mr. Cool

Just a snobby little fool

(Like kids are now.)

I dreamed of reaching greater heights

I raved about it every night

Talk is cheap

She went all the way, all the way

All the way down, yeah

She went all the way

All the way all the way

All the way, all the way down

She’s there when I close my eyes

There when I close my eyes

She’s there when I close my eyes

There when I close my eyes

How the years they rush on by

Birthdays, kids and suicides

Still I play the fool and strut

Still you’re a slut

Hey girl, she went all the way

All the way, all the way

All the way down

She went all the way

All the way, all the way

All the way down

She went all the way

All the way, all the way

All the way down

You give me back that time right now

I can see it if I close my eyes

Was every minute just a waste?

Was every hour a foolish chase?

I don’t believe it

She went all the way

All the way down

She went all the way

All the way down

She went all the way

All the way down

She went all the way

All the way all the way

All the way down

She went all the way

All the way all the way

All the way down
