The Spider and The Fly

 

The Spider and The Fly Lyrics

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Sittin` thinkin` sinkin` drinkin`
Wondering what I`d do when I`m through tonight
Smoking moping, maybe just hopin`
Some little girl will pass on by
Don`t wanna 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 show go to be.
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, superficially 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
And I said my, my, my like the spider to the fly
Jump right ahead in my web
