When I think of all the times
I tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Was she told when she was young
That pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
To earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
"Ruby Tuesday" from Between The Buttons, which, in my opinion, may be one of the Stones finest albums. (I lost interest in the band after the passing of Brian Jones.)
