  • Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
    Sometimes I'm fallin' on the ground
    How do you hide, how do you hide your love?

    Now look here, baby, it sure looks sweet
    In the sleep time, out on the street
    Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?
    Why do you hide, baby, why do you hide your love?

    Alright, boy
    Yeah

    Oh, been a sick man, I wanna cry
    Lord, I'm a drunk man, but now I'm dry
    Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?

    Now look here, baby, you sure look cheap
    I make money seven days a week
    Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?
    Why do you hide, baby, hide from the man that you love?
    Come on, my man, hurry up

    Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
    Why do you hide, why do you hide your love? Alright

    Come on, come on, come out
    Come on, I want, I want

    Oh, babe, I'm reachin', reachin' high
    Oh, yeah, I'm fallin' out of the sky
    Why do you hide, hide from the man that you love?
    Why do you hide, baby, why do you hide your love?

    Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
    Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?
    Why do you hide it, baby, hide from the man that you love
    That you love? Well, well, well, well Writer/s: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger

  • Richard Mckeever from Iin Northern New Mexico, Down From The Jemez Mountains Unfortunately, Copd, But Still Over 7000'. Feet.Thanks for telling me Mick Jagger played piano on Hide Your Love. Given the Boogie Woogie, drinking music sound of it I wouldd have bet it was Stu. Live and learn right. They are both under rated as piano players, especially Ian Stewart. For his style of play and the way he bounces of off Keith Richards guitar work, there ain't nobody better.
    There is a special quality to his work, a sound all its own. He may not play like a Billy Powell, no doubt the best technical, and southern rock and roll piano in the world but no one fits with the Stones like Stu, not even Nicky Hopkins and there are few as good as him, he is another great player, particularly with the Stones with his style of song. Nobody fit better than Ian Stewart though. He was taken far too young.
  • Tod Neil Page from Santa Cruz , CaJust wow, damn! Fok me , OMG. I just listened to Hide Your Love 2020 and it stopped me mid stride and Gob Smacked me most seriously. Gabbed the nearest pair of ears and had them listen...same effect. Then I saw the OTHER VERSION ...too much. Different cause it builds from the first bar and it took me along for the ride. The lead guitar is the real treat. Mick Taylor was on fire, it doesn’t get much better for straight rock and roll. I love Goats Head Soup and The Stones. What a great set of songs. Thanks for all this Mick. Your fingerprints are all over this gift. Just wow, fok me , damn! , OMG what a great record!
  • George from Little Rock, ArThe beginning of this song sounds like the beginning of Queen's Your My Best Friend. I wonder if Queen "borrowed" the piano riff.
    I think that this song is underated. It took me years to discover it and now it is one of my favorite rolling stones songs.
  • Chelsea from Nyc, OrTaylor likes this tune from "Goat's Head Soup".
