Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone lyrics
[Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone lyrics]
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you? People call, say "Beware doll
You're bound to fall"
You thought they were all a-kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
Aw, you've gone to the
Finest school all right, miss Lonely
But ya know ya only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught ya how to
Live out on the street
And now you’re gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say, "Do you want to make a deal?"
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be on your own with no direction home
A complete unknown like a rolling stone?
Aw, you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when
They all did tricks for you
Never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get
Your kicks for you you used to ride on a
Chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you
Everything he could steal?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To hang on your own with no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Aw, princess on the steeple and
All the pretty people they're all drinkin'
Thinkin' that they got it made
Exchangin' all precious gifts
But, you'd better take your diamond
Ring, ya better pawn it, babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the
Language that he used
Go to him now, he calls ya, ya can't refuse
When ya ain't got nothin'
You got nothin' to lose
You're invisible now
Ya got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel? Aw, how does it feel?
To be on your own with no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you? People call, say "Beware doll
You're bound to fall"
You thought they were all a-kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
Aw, you've gone to the
Finest school all right, miss Lonely
But ya know ya only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught ya how to
Live out on the street
And now you’re gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say, "Do you want to make a deal?"
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be on your own with no direction home

Aw, you never turned around to see the frowns
