Side Effects

(Jagger/Richards/Watt)

My mood is down and my tongue's gettin' rough

It must be side effects

I'm taking pills, and I drink like a lush

It must be side effects

Yeah, I'm afraid of my shadow, what's going on?

Can't get nothing done, who knew?

Side effects

My hands are shaking, I'm a nervous wreck

Too many side effects

Help me, baby

There's a price to pay for everything

Everything you put in your veins

I can't stop, I can't get enough

Is it real or is it chemical?

I can't stop, I can't get enough

Got a feeling that it's chemical

Too many side effects

My moods are swinging, I got late-night sweats

I got side effects, yeah

Didn't read the label, don't know what to expect, yeah

Side effects  

Too many side effects

This is worse than stopping cigarettes

I got a heart to protect, too many flashbacks

You know my, my blood is toxic, I'm losing my wits

Too many side effects

Help me, baby

There's a price to pay for everything

Everything you put in your veins

I paid

I can't stop, I can't get enough

Is it real or is it chemical?

I can't stop, I can't get enough

Got a feeling I'm obsessional

Ain't all bad, ain't all good

I hate to be hooked

I guess you were the perfect drug, yeah

I can't stop, I can't get enough

Got a feeling that it's chemical

What do we have in common?

You don't even laugh at my jokes, well

I can't stop, I can't get enough

Is it real or is it chemical?

I can't stop, I can't get enough

I'm feeling that it's chemical

Ain't all bad, ain't all good

I hate to be hooked

I guess you were the perfect drug, yeah

I can't stop, I can't get enough

I'm feeling that it's chemical

Side effects

Too many side effects, yeah

Too many side effects

Too many side effects, yeah

Side effects

Side effects

Side effects

Side effects

Too many side effects
