3. The Rolling Stones - Miss You

I've been holding out so long I've been sleeping all alone Lord I miss you I've been hanging on the phone I've been sleeping all alone I want to kiss you Well, I've been haunted in my sleep You've been starring in my dreams Lord I miss you I've been waiting in the hall Been waiting on your call When the phone rings It's just some friends of mine that say, "Hey, what's the matter man? We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you. We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to" Oh everybody waits so long Oh baby why you wait so long Won't you come on! Come on! I've been walking in Central Park Singing after dark People think I'm crazy I've been stumbling on my feet Shuffling through the street Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?" Sometimes I want to say to myself Sometimes I say I won't miss you child I guess I'm lying to myself It's just you and no one else Lord I won't miss you child You've been blotting out my mind Fooling on my time No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah Lord, I miss you child Lord, I miss you child Lord, I miss you child

4. The Rolling Stones - Streets of Love

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 The lights are lit, the moon is gone I think I've crossed the Rubicon I walk the streets of love and they're full of tears And I walk the streets of love and they're full of fears 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 I walk the streets of love and they're full of tears I walk the streets of love for a thousand years Oh tell me now I, oh I walk the streets of love, yeah And they're drenched with tears, oh 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 And I walk the streets of love and they're drenched with tears And I walk the streets of love for a thousand years, oh I walk the streets of love and they're drenched with tears Oh every night, oh there's only one and not enough for him Oh I, yeah and they're full of tears Oh everybody talk about it Everybody be walking down it Yeah but I found out, oh yes that I Oh yes I do Oh the streets of love, yeah, they're drenched, drenched with in tears I, oh yeah I don't want to
