The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil 1 lyrics

Your rating:
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith.

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate.

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game.

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar 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 puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah.

(Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo)
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(Whoo, whoo).

I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedy's?" 
When after all
It was you and me
(Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo).

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
(Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo).

Pleased to meet you 
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
Oh yeah, (whoo, whoo)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo)
(Whoo, whoo) (3x)..........

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo).

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 
(whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo).

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(Whoo, whoo)
Use all your well-learned politesse (whoo whoo)
Or I'll lay your(woo, woo) soul to waste, (whoo whoo), um yeah
(Whoo, whoo).

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, (whoo, whoo) um yeah
(Whoo, whoo)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(Whoo, whoo) (2x)............

Woo, who 
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
(Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo) (2x)........
Oh yeah!
(Whoo, whoo)
(Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo).

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

Oh, who (whoo, whoo)
Woo, who (whoo, whoo) (2x)
Alright (whoo, whoo)
Woo, whoo, who (whoo, whoo) (3x)
Oh, yeah (whoo, whoo)
Woo, who, who (2x)
Oh yeah, ah what's my name
(Whoo whoo)
Tell me, baby, what's my name (whoo, whoo)
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name (whoo, whoo).

Woo, who, who (whoo, whoo) (6x)
Oh, yeah!
Whoo, whoo (2x).
