Don't Tear Me Up

Mick Jagger

Life is rich, but it's way too short


You make a lot of money, but you just want more


I don't need the pain right here in my heart


But I hate every minute when we're so far apart


It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash


It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back


It brings me no comfort, it brings me no peace


A weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal disease


So don't tear me up


I don't ever wanna see your picture again


And don't poison my blood


I don't ever wanna see your face here no more


Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean


Don't wanna be bitter. I don't wanna be mean


I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street


I've come so far I wanna crash the car


I wanna land right on my feet


I said don't tear me up


I don't ever wanna see your picture again


I said don't tear me up


I don't ever wanna see your face here no more


But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light


And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness


You'll be my lover each night


Life is a bitch, it's way too short


Unlike a politician it just can't be bought


Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness


And if you ever wanna hate me come and


Stick a knife right in my chest


I said don't tear me up


I don't ever wanna see your picture again


I said don't tear me up


I don't ever wanna see your face here no more


I said don't tear me up


I said don't tear me up


I said don't poison my blood


I don't ever wanna see your picture again
