  • Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
    All day long I'm walkin' 'cause I couldn't get my car started
    Laid off from my job and I can't afford to check it
    I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it

    Come on, since me and my baby parted
    Come on, I can't get started
    Come on, I can't afford to check it
    I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it

    Everything is wrong since I've been without you
    Every night I lay awake thinkin' about you
    Every time the phone rings it sounds like thunder
    Some stupid guy tryin' to reach another number

    Come on, since I've been without you
    Come on, always thinkin' about you
    Come on, phone sounds like thunder
    Some stupid guy tryin' to reach another number

    Everything is wrong since I last saw you, baby
    I really want to see you and I don't mean maybe
    I'm doin' ev'rything tryin' to make you see
    That I belong to you, hon, and you belong to me

    Come on, I want to see you, baby
    Come on, I don't mean maybe
    Come on, I'm tryin' to make you see
    That I belong to you and you belong to me

    Come on, I gotta see you, baby
    Come on, I don't mean maybe
    Come on, I've gotta make you see
    That I belong to you and you belong to me

    Come on, come on
    Come on, come on Writer/s: CHUCK BERRY

  • Guy from Woodinville, WaThe lads may not have liked it, but it's an interesting artifact of the Stones' evolution, since your first single is always about trying to get a commercial hit. In any case, it's a great pop song. Rare to hear Brian Jones singing!!
  • Ian from Lethbridge, CanadaThis song is awesome! Very impressive considering it was their very first song!
  • Chelsea from Nyc, OrA rare appearance of Brian Jones on BU vocals. Andrew Oldham had no idea what "mixing" a song meant when asked how he wanted it to sound after the Stones had recorded it. So he just told the engineer to go ahead. A very "poppy" sounding song for the Stones in their bluesy period that was aimed at the recordbuying market.
