Laugh, I Nearly Died

The Rolling Stones

I've been travelling but I don't know where 
I've been missing you but you just don't care 
And I've been wandering, I've seen Greece and Rome 
Lost in the wilderness, so far from home 
Yeah, yeah 

I've been to Africa, looking for my soul 
And I feel like an actor looking for a role 
I've been in Arabia, I've seen a million stars 
Been sipping champagne on the boulevards - yes 

I'm so sick and tired 
Trying to turn the tide, yeah 
So I'll say my goodbye 
Laugh, laugh 
I nearly died 

I've been down to India, but it froze my bones 
I'm living for the city, but I'm all alone 
I've been travelling, but I don't know where 
I've been wandering, but I just don't care 

I hate to be denied 
How you hurt my pride 
I feel pushed aside 
But laugh, laugh, laugh 
I nearly died 

Been travelling far and wide 
Wondering who's going to be my guide 

Living in a fantasy but it's way too far 
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard 
I've been wandering, feeling all alone 
I lost my direction and I lost my home...Well 

I'm so sick and tired 
Now I'm on the side 
Feeling so despised 
When you laugh, laugh 
I almost died 

(Been travelling far and wide 
Wondering who's going to be my guide) 

I hurt my pride, hurt my pride, hurt my pride (Been travelling far and wide) 
Been travelling, yeah 

(Been travelling far and wide 
Wondering who's going to be my guide) 

(Been travelling far and wide)
