Forty Licks, 2002
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
This song is addressed to a love whose passion was one hot and fiery, maybe even dangerous, but whose love has grown cold. "Don't you dump me on some dusty street / And hang me out to dry," he pleads. As usual, Jagger's vocal delivery elevates the material: on paper it's a pretty by-the-numbers love song with an over-reliance on the title repeated as chorus, but he gives the words a cool mystery as the familiar Stones riffs chug along.
