Tumbling Dice
"Tumbling Dice" (originally called "Good Time Women") is a single written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for the Rolling Stones' 1972 double album Exile on Main St., and was the album's lead single. The song, recorded in the basement of the chateau Villa Nellcôte in France, peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 5 in the UK Singles chart. The lyrics tell the story of a gambler who cannot remain faithful to any woman. The music has a blues boogie-woogie rhythm and has been noted for its irregular lyrical structure and "groove".

Lyrics
Women think I`m tasty, but they`re always tryin` to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby, I don`t need no jewels in my crown.
`Cause all you women is low down gamblers,
Cheatin` like I don`t know how,
But baby, I go crazy, there`s fever in the funk house now.
This low down b*tchin` got my poor feet a itchin`,
You know you know the duece is still wild.
Baby, I can`t stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin` dice.
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,
Don`t you see the time flashin` by.
Honey, got no money,
I`m all sixes and sevens and nines.
Say now, baby, I`m the rank outsider,
You can be my partner in crime.
But baby, I can`t stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin`,
Roll me and call me the tumblin` dice.
Oh, my, my, my, I`m the lone crap shooter,
Playin` the field ev`ry night.
Baby, can`t stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin` dice, (Call me the tumblin`)
Got to roll me, Got to roll me, Got to roll me (Oh yeah)
Got to roll me. Got to roll me, Got to roll me ( Keep on rolling, Keep on rolling)
