Please Go Home Lyrics


Please Go Home
Please go home

Well maybe I'm talkin' to fast
But I won't be the first or the last
In the sea of the thousand you cast
C'mon please go home

I don't have to ask what you do
I just have to look to get you
Means nothing to me to get through
Please go home

I don't want to be on my own
Cause I can't talk much better alone
But I don't have to ring like a phone
Won't you please go home

Please go home
In some early part of your days
You were told of the devious ways
That you thought you could get without pay
Won't you please go home

You reach a state of your mind
Where it's madness to look and to find
Your false affections so kind
Please go home
Won't you please go home

Please Go Home Song Chart
  • This is built around the "Bo Diddley Beat" - dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, dun. The Stones toured with Diddley in England in 1963. The Stones also used the Bo Diddley Beat on "Not Fade Away" in 1964.
  • Brian Jones played the theremin on this track, an electronic device also used by Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love."

    Like that theremin? Here's "Over The Rainbow" on one, an excellent example of its unique sound. Shop around online and you'll find they go for about $300. If you're too broke or too clever, make your own theremin following this YouTube podcast. Then come back and play along with the Stones! (thanks, David - Lilburn, GA)
  • This was not included on American versions of Between The Buttons. It is on the compilation Flowers in the US.

    The Stones had an unusual track record for shuffling songs around between album releases in the states and the UK. In the US, this song was bumped to make room for two bigger hits, "Let's Spend The Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday."
  • The name of this album, Between The Buttons, is a British expression meaning that you're undecided about something. Urban legend has it that when producer Andrew Loog Oldham was asked about what they should title the album, he uttered this phrase and they took him literally.
