Tekst en muziek: Mick Jagger en Keith Richards
(1966)
Since I was young, I’ve been very hard to please
And I don’t know wrong from right
But there is one thing I would never understand
Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so
I’m just sittin’ on a fence
You can say, I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is so horrifying
So, I’m sittin’ on a fence
All with my friends at school grew up and settled down
And they mortgaged up their lives
When things got said too much, but I think it’s true
They just get married, ’cause there’s nothing else to do, so
I’m just sittin’ on a fence
You can say, I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is so horrifying
So, I’m sittin’ on a fence
I’m just sittin’ on a fence
You can say, I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is so horrifying
So, I’m sittin’ on a fence
The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life
You just never realize
Maybe the choice you made wasn’t really right
But you go out and you don’t come back at night, so
I’m just sittin’ on a fence
You can say, I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is so horrifying
So, I’m sittin’ on a fence
