(Reed)

I could ride around the world in an old oxcart
And never let another girl thrill my heart

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin' and my kissin' belong to just one

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat
I'd give 'em all to you and never take one back

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

I'm putting on my Sunday suit and I'm goin' downtown
But I'll be kissin' your lips before the sun goes down

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

Ao lado de Satisfaction essa é a outra música que nunca fica de fora dos shows da banda.

Quando essa música foi lançada (em 1971), Keith Richards passava longos tempos com Gram Parsons. Gram havia sido o responsável pela criação do "country-rock" quando gravou com os Byrds o disco Sweetheart of Rodeo e com sua banda Flying Burrito Brothers. Foi ele quem influenciou o clima country de faixas como essas e outras da mesma época lançadas pelos ingleses. Gram morreria vítima de overdose em 1973 mas ainda é forte influência no rock contemporâneo.
