Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 Please allow me to introduce myself: I'm a man of wealth and taste

2 I've been around for a long, long year; stole many man's soul and faith

3 I was 'round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain

4 Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate

5 Pleased to meet you -- hope you guess my name

6 But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

7 Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change

8 Killed the czar and his ministers; Anastasia screamed in vain

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

10 Pleased to meet you -- hope you guess my name, oh yeah

11 Ah, what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah

12 I watched with glee while your kings and queens

13 Fought for ten decades for the gods they made

14 I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?"

15 When after all, it was you and me

16 Let me please introduce myself: I'm a man of wealth and taste

17 And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay

18 Pleased to meet you -- hope you guess my name, oh yeah

19 But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah

20 Get down, baby

21 Pleased to meet you -- hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

22 But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game

23 Just as every cop is a criminal

24 And all the sinners saints

25 As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer

26 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

27 So if you meet me, have some courtesy

28 Have some sympathy and some taste

29 Use all your well-learned politesse

30 Or I'll lay your soul to waste

31 Mmm, yeah

32 Pleased to meet you -- hope you guessed my name, mmm, yeah

33 But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

34 Mmm, mean it, get down

35 Tell me baby, what's my name?

36 Tell me honey, can 'ya guess my name?

37 Tell me baby, what's my name?

38 I tell you one time, you're to blame

39 What's my name?

40 Tell me baby, what's my name?

41 Tell me sweetie, what's my name?
