Don't believe me, I'm a liar
Lie all the time
I admit it, I've been lying all along
No f*cks allowed
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime my prime, yes I did
People would call, say "Beware, Paul, you're bound to fall"
But I thought they were all tryna kid
I used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
But now I don't talk so loud
Now I don't walk so proud
Having to be scrounging around for my next meal
I know how it feels
I know how it feels
Be out on my own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
I'm like a rolling stone
I've been to the finest school
They used to call me "Mister Lonely"
But ya' know ya' only used to get juiced in it
You know they never taught me how to live out on the street
But now I guess I'm gonna have to get used to it
I said I'd never compromise
With Napoleon in rags, that was before I had realized
He wasn't selling any alibis
Now I'm staring into the vacuum of his eyes
And I'm askin' if he wants to make a deal
So I know how it feels
That's how I know how it feels
To be out on my own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
I'm like a rolling stone
I know how it feels
Yes, I know how it feels
To be on my own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
I'm like a rolling stone
Prince upon the steeple and I'm here with my pretty people
Laughin', drinkin', thinkin', "Hey, we got it made!"
Exchangin' all kinds of precious gifts
But I'm takin' off this diamond ring so I can pawn it today
I used to ride on a chrome horse with my diplomat
He carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
It was so hard discoverin' that
We really wasn't where it was at
But that was after we had taken from there everything we could steal
We know how it feels
(Know how it feels)
We all know how it feels
(Know how it feels)
To be all on your own
(All on our own)
With no direction home
(No direction home)
Completely unknown
(Completely unknown)
Just like Rolling Stones
(Rolling Stones)
I'm feelin' like Mick Jagger
(Do you feel like Mick?)
I feel more like Keith Richards
(Do you feel like Keith?)
I feel like Bill Wyman
(Do you feel like Bill?)
I'm feelin' like Charlie Watts
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't forget the question
(Don't forget about me)
And don't forget Lisa Fischer
(Don't forget about me)
Don't you forget Bernard Fowler
(Don't forget Bernard)
And don't forget Darryl Jones
(Darryl Jones)
If you forget Brian Jones
Don't forget Darryl Jones
A real Rolling Stone
(Real Rolling Stone)
We're just Rolling Stones
(Rolling Stones)
