Mick Jagger - Don't Tear Me Up Lyrics






Life is rich, but it's way too short
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
I don't need the pain right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when we're so far apart

It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash
It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back
It brings me no comfort, it brings me no peace
A weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal disease

So don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
And don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean
Don't wanna be bitter. I don't wanna be mean
I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street
I've come so far I wanna crash the car
I wanna land right on my feet

I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness
You'll be my lover each night

Life is a bitch, it's way too short
Unlike a politician it just can't be bought
Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness
And if you ever wanna hate me come and
Stick a knife right in my chest

I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

I said don't tear me up
I said don't tear me up
I said don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your picture again

    Dear john

  2. M.... :....

    Thank you ❤️

  3. b.... ....

    That intro sounded very Notorious B.I.G.

  4. D.... R....

    Not every guitar player with a well worn Telecaster does a Keith Richards make, sawri!
    Yhe tone that says, hey, if I opened the floodgate I can drown your whole city with the power of my amplifier that's restraining the sweetness of my sound, or, something like that.
    A tone that's like a tiger on a doggy leash!

  5. K.... E....

    World class songwriting right there....

  6. J.... K....

    Best breakup song ever

    Cool !!

  8. a.... i....

    He dicho que no me rompas
    Yo no quiero volver a ver a tu imagen de nuevo
    He dicho que no me rompas
    Yo no quiero volver a ver tu cara aquí más
    Pero te sueño constantemente, tú serás mi ángel de luz
    Y en las salas oscuras de insomnio
    Serás mi amante cada noche

  9. K.... F....

    Why, not, is a god, exercize, look, at, me!!! Put me in the, basura!!🍭😍🎵♥️😝

    Best Solo Stones Album from Jagger - Great Tune

  18. b.... b....

    One the best songs I've ever heard, its up and down with lots of movements. It's intricate and I love how the drummer uses the snare with little back beats. Punchy on the drop ins and the lyrics take you on a rich soulful ride on how love is or could be!
    I love HOW YOU WRITE MICK, you are such an artist and thank you very much for your music. I would love to meet you, I bet you are a neat person. I saw you in Atlanta,,,,1989 on Steal Wheels.....I had this cranked driving up Hwy 75 from Florida to Ga.

  19. M.... B....

    Tear up verves cheques. Or send back. Crooky cunt. Money more. Yes right. 9 seconds too much. Shite. Die.

  21. G.... P....

    ♥️♥️♥️

  22. R.... O....

    As good or better than anything on Keith's solo albums. Underrated.

  23. Y.... R....

    Bellissimo brano e interpretazione caro Mick Jagger ★ Complimenti!! ♠

  24. C.... M....

    Great song frim a great album..

  25. a.... ....

    No matter how much he would like to get away from it, when making solo records, he's most convincing and inspiring when he stays close to the Stones style and sound. Nothing wrong with that, with songs like this one. The band almost sound like they want to outdo the Stones. Rick Rubin was the co-producer of Wandering Spirit, which surely helped to make it stand out. Jagger's best solo effort.

  26. S.... K....

    Best solo album ever!

  27. S.... S....

    great I was watching this Youtube and before going deep into this other Shee's comment section I thought about checkinout this guy and here it is dad surfaces on here well My real Dad is also not far from me when this moment is on he's downstairs ..I'm only four stories above the ground but hey Mick I'm sure youd want to know why It feels like flying to me. I'm gonna start this thing over and see if other Stones appear on this one hey Mick did you sing something that sounded like like a poilitician can't be bought ..near the end of the song?
    ..I'll play again and find out what's ahead of those words I'll disagree with you if I heard you right Mick. I think I started to grow a strong fondness like very like for you guys before I was born yes are you there Mick? I mean I'll stop this comment now .

  28. S.... 1....

    Does anyone remember Mick singing this great song live on Saturday Night Live in the early 90’s?

    D.... Z....

    Yes!! I keep hoping to find it but I know SNL is painfully good at keeping their films under lock and key. I wish they would open up for us all to enjoy. That was an amazing performance and I remember it. Lets hope its posted somewhere. I'm gonna look again. :)

    Ein hervorragender Performer - einfach die beste Rampensau der Welt

  62. m.... n....

    Always thought Mick's solo work wasn't as loved, and appreciated by even some of the Stones fans, as well as the media, and critics. I always loved this particular song, and the album it came off of, I thought it was Mick's best ever solo album. Hard to believe its now been 25 years since its release...time flies.

    m.... n....

    Amazing album! Good times. :)

  63. E.... B....

    A really good album! Bought the cassette in 93. Listened it to it quite a bit. Should of gotten more radio play. Especially this rocker!

  81. J.... B....

    I still want to know who the girl is from "Memory Motel" :). Mick won't say because "..she's still around..."

  82. J.... S....

    Mick Jagger is the greatest singer songwriter ever

    J.... S....

    John Scruggs not to me. I like him. But for me its Freddie Mercury.

    J.... S....

    Yes , behind Brian Jones!

    J.... S....

    good but not the greatest

  88. j.... m....

    should of been astonestune

  89. j.... m....

    should of been a Stones tune.theywouldve smoked this one

  90. A.... F....

    alto tema

  91. J.... L....

    Could have been inspired by Angelina Jolie...I don't understand why men become so infatuated with her...

    J.... L....

    Joe Loughlin Don’t think so. She was about 15 when this was written. This track ultimately came out in 1993 but was written and worked on a few years before that. It actually shows up in some Stones recording session listings as well as Sweet Thing.

  92. a.... b....

    Master of bridges. And this song: so elegant. Respect yes ---
