I don’t wanna think about you when you’re gone
I don’t wanna hear your voice talk on the phone
All those notes and all those cards, I’m gonna throw them in the yard
I’m gonna put them in the trash where they belong

I just want a clean slate, I think I will redecorate
Slap some fresh new colors on the walls
Throw away your letters and rip up all your sweaters
You can’t haunt me, you can’t taunt me when you’re gone, ah yeah

Accentuate the positive, that’s what the people say
Talk it up, don’t let it get you down
But there’s so many negatives that pass along the way
Throw them in the river, let ‘em drown, bury 'em in the ground, yeah

I don’t want to read about you when you’re gone
I don’t wanna hear about the things you’ve done
I put a filter in my brain, I wanna cut out all that pain
I don't wanna hear about you when you’re gone

Don’t wanna hear those melodies, they're like a touch of leprosy
I've grown to hate our favorite song
If I hear it on the radio, I grab the damn remote control
You can’t haunt me, you can’t taunt me when you’re gone
When you’re gone, all right

Produced by The Glimmer Twins, Chris Kimsey & Don Was

First released on:
The Rolling Stones - “Some Girls” 2CD
(Universal Music 278 924-3) UK, November 18, 2011

the music and lyrics are just right for each other: so dirty, gritty and nasty-spittin'
i love the Rolling Stones ... and i am always touched when the Glimmers write love songs to each other :E

I really wanted to like this one. It has all the necessary ingredients … the core band, Some Girls era vintage, Mick on harp ... but it leaves me cold. There’s just nothing interesting here. Mean-spirited lyrics, boring melody, plodding rhythm. Should have stayed in the can. Reminds me of some of the filler on ABB.

Ronnie's got a writing credit!

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

I love it.would have been a better single than spare parts.

Go Dawgs!

A groovy Stones blues, it is great to listen to it, but it is not unique.
