The Spider and the Fly (Yeah Yeah, 30 August 1965) Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

Sittin′ thinkin' sinkin′ drinkin'
Wondering what I'd do when I′m through tonight

Smoking, moping, maybe just hoping
Some little girl will pass on by
Don′t want to be alone
But I love my girl at home
I remember what she said


She said, My, my, my don't tell lies
Keep fidelity in your head
My my my, don′t tell lies.
When you're done you should go to bed
Don′t say hi, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and you're dead

Sit up, fed up, low down go round
Down to the bar at the place I′m at
Sitting drinking, supereficially thinking
About the rinsed-out blonde on my left
Then I said, "hi" like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said

She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
I would have run away but I was on my own
She told me later she's a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said my, my, like the spider to the fly
Jump right ahead in my web
