The Rolling Stones Like A Rolling Stone Lyrics

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the b__s a dime in your prime, didnt you?
Peopled call, say beware doll, youre bound to fall
You thought they were all kiddin you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin out
Now you dont walk so proud
Now you dont talk so loud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone

You went to the finest school all right, miss lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody taught you how to live out on the street
You're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
That hes not selling any alibis
As you stare down into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Theyre drinkin, thinkin that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But better take your diamond ring, youd better p___ it babe
You used to be so amused
At napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you cant refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Youre invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
