Lyrics for Song: Play With Fire
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Rolling Stones, The
Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
Your mother she's a heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
Your old man took her diamonds and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
Now you've got some diamonds and you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step, girl
Or start living with your mother
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Play With Fire
Released in 1971, "Play With Fire" stands as a quintessential example of the Rolling Stones' mid-1970s rock sound, blending bluesy riffs with the band's signature swagger. While often associated with their earlier catalog, the track exemplifies the enduring power of their songwriting, featuring a driving rhythm section and Mick Jagger's characteristic vocal delivery. The recording captures the raw energy that defined their work during a period of significant artistic evolution, contributing to their legacy as pioneers of hard rock and blues rock. It remains a staple in their discography, showcasing the band's ability to craft anthems that resonate across generations without relying on specific lyrical themes, instead drawing strength from their musical arrangement and performance style. |
