The Rolling StonesAngieAngie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats,

you cant say were satisfied.

Angie, Angie, you cant say we never tried.Angie, youre beautiful, yeah.

But aint it time we say goodbye?

Angie, I still love you. Remember all those nights we cried?

All the dreams we held so closeseemed to all go up in smoke.

Let me whisper in your ear:Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, Angie, dont you weep.All your kisses still taste sweet.

I hate that sadness in your eyes.But Angie, Angie, aint it time we say goodbye?

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats, you cant say were satisfied.

But Angie, I still love you, baby.Everywhere I look, I see your eyes.There aint a woman that comes close to you.Come on, baby, dry your eyes.

Angie, Angie, aint it good to be alive?Angie, Angie, they cant say we never tried.
