Fool To Cry Lyrics

When I come home baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she says
"Daddy what's wrong?"
I put my head on her shoulder
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
"Daddy you're a Fool To Cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she says?
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

Daddy you're a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry

Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a certified fool, now
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool

Fool To Cry Song Chart

This is an introspective ballad that was not typical of most Rolling Stones songs.

With Mick Taylor gone, The Stones were auditioning lead guitarists while recording Black And Blue. American session man Wayne Perkins played on this and almost got the job, but Ron Wood beat him out.

This was the only song on Black And Blue to chart in England or the US.

Keith Richards fell asleep while they were performing this in 1976 while touring Germany.

Richards: "I was just glad somebody in the band could sing that falsetto. I got a pretty good falsetto myself. But when you got a singer and he can hit those notes, baby go for it. And Mick was always fascinated with the falsetto Soul singers like Aaron Neville. That's crafty stuff, you know what I mean? But he'd been listening to so many people. It's kinda like what goes in, will come out. You'll just hear a phrase or a piece of music. And one way or another it's part of your experience. And a lot of the time it comes out what you do without even realizing it. I don't really like to think about these things too much. It's more to do with feeling than intellectualizing about it." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The Canadian duo Tegan and Sara covered this in 2013 for the soundtrack for the HBO drama Girls. Their version can be found on the album, Girls, Vol. 1 (Music From the HBO Original Series). "Lena Dunham (Girls creator and star) reached out about us doing a track for the soundtrack," Tegan told the Toronto Sun. "When she said which one we were going to do I went and listened to it. I was like, 'Oh my god, this is a nightmare! How are we going to do this? It's like he's talking, he's meandering.' I was like, 'What the f---?"

"In the end I loved doing it," she continued, "I thought it was so great. I haven't really listened to a lot of them other than the popular Rolling Stones songs but it was cool to get into a deep cut. And the response has been insane. These teenage girls are like, 'I love this song!' And I say, 'You're welcome, Rolling Stones. We just got you into another generation.'"

Cherry Oh Baby Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Oh, Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't ya know I in need of thee
You don't believe it true
Why don't you love me, too
Its so long I've been waiting
For you to come right in
Now that we are together
Is make my joy run over

Yeah [Repeat: x7]

{Chorus]
Oh Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't ya know I in love with you
You don't believe I know
So why don't you try me
I'm never gonna let you down
Never make you wear no frown
You say you love me madly
Then why do you treat me badly

Yeah [Repeat: x7]

[Chorus]
Oh Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't ya know I in love with you
You don't believe I know
So why don't you try me (try me)
I'm never gonna let you down no
Never make you wear no frown
You say you love me madly
Then why do you treat me badly

Yeah [Repeat: x3]

Cherry Oh Baby Song Chart

This is cover of Eric Donaldson's 1971 reggae song. The Stones recorded Goats Head Soup three years earlier in Jamaica, but this is the most they got into reggae.

This was the first time Ron Wood appeared on a Stones album. They were auditioning lead guitarists during Black And Blue, and while Wood only played on this and "Hey Negrita," he was named to the band before it was released and appeared on the cover.

The Reggae group from England UB40 also covered this. It's on their 1983 album Labour Of Love. (thanks, Christopher - Greenfield Center, NY)

Charlie Watts (from According to the Rolling Stones ): "The reggae influence on the songs on Black And Blue came primarily from Keith... Mick was certainly into reggae. I had all those (reggae) records in France with me when we moved there and when we were recording tracks for Exile on Main St. at Keith's house. Mick used to have them as well. I'd play him 'Cherry Oh Baby' or he'd play one to me. And The Harder They Come was an album Keith listened to a lot." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Hot Stuff Lyrics

Hot Stuff, can't get enough
Hot stuff, hot stuff, can't get enough
The music is mighty, mighty fine
Hot stuff, hot stuff can't get enough
Hot stuff, can't get enough
Hot stuff, can't get enough
Hot stuff, can't get enough

Music is mighty fine
Hot stuff

Hot stuff, I can't get enough
I can't get enough
The music is what I want
My body always moving, ah, stick it
Hot stuff

Everyday I get another dose
I can't stand it when the music stops
Hot stuff

All the people in New York City
I know you're all going broke, but you're tough
Yeah, hot stuff, hot stuff

To everybody in Jamaica
That's working in the sun
Your hot, your hot stuff
Shake it up, hot stuff

Hot stuff
Hot stuff
Hot stuff

Hot Stuff Song Chart

With Mick Taylor gone, The Stones were auditioning lead guitarists while recording Black And Blue. Harvey Mandel from Canned Heat played on this, but Ron Wood got the job.

This was dangerously close to Disco - Donna Summer had a Disco hit 3 years later with the same title.

Billy Preston played the piano, Ollie E. Brown was on percussion.

"Hot Stuff" was the working title for the album until they decided on Black And Blue.
