The Rolling Stones Sympathy For The Devil (River Plate 2006) Lyrics

Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long, long year,
stole many man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
had his moment of doubt and pain
Made d___ sure that Pilate,
washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you, is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
when I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the tsar and his ministers,
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guess my name! Oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzlin' you
is the nature of my game! Ah yeah

I watched with glee while your kings and queens
fought for ten decades for the gods they made
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
When, after all, it was you and me

Let me please introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzlin' you
is the nature of my game, ah yeah, get down, baby!

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusin' you
is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal,
and all the sinners, saints
As heads is tails just call me Lucifer,
'cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me have some courtesy,
have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzlin' you
is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down

Whoo-hooh!
Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
Whoo!
Oh babe
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, yeah
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, yeah
What's my name?
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?

Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Oo-hoo-hoo!
Ahhhhh yeah!
