Streets Of Love

The Rolling Stones · Grrr! [2012]

You're awful bright, you're awful smart

I must admit you broke my heart

The awful truth, It's really sad

I must admit I was awful bad



While lovers laugh and music plays

I stumble by and i hide my pain

The lamps are lit, the moon is gone

I think I crossed the Rubicon



I walk the streets of love and they're full of tears

And I walk the streets of love and they are full of fears



While music pumps from passing cars

A couple watch me from a bar

A band just played the wedding march

And the corner store

Mends broken hearts

And a woman asks me for a dance

Oh, it's free of charge

Just one more chance



I walk the streets of love

And they're full of tears

And I walk the streets of love for a 1000 years

Tell me now well I walk the streets of love, yeah

And tgey're drenched with tears



You had the moves

You had the cards

I must admit you were awful smart

The awful truth, it's awful sad

I must admit, I was awful bad



And I walk the streets of love

And they're drenched with tears

I walk the streets of love for a 1000 years

And I walk the streets of love

And they're drenched with tears

Streets Of Love - The Rolling Stones

Released on the 2012 compilation Grrr!, 'Streets Of Love' is a rare studio recording by The Rolling Stones that stands apart from their iconic rock and roll anthems. Unlike many of the band's famous tracks, this song was recorded in 1964 but remained unreleased for decades, emerging only as part of a modern retrospective collection. The track showcases the band's early psychedelic pop sensibilities, blending their signature guitar-driven sound with a more experimental approach that foreshadowed their later work. While not a staple of their classic hits, its inclusion highlights the band's creative evolution during the mid-1960s and offers listeners a glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of their discography.
