Don't Tear Me Up Songtext
von 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
It's 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

Wanna finish it quick
Wanna 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
Yeah, 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
But it's way too short
Unlike a politician
It just can′t be bought
But think about the tenderness
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
