Third Stone From The Sun/If You Love Me Like You Say Lyrics

If you love me like you say
Why you treat me like you do
If you love me like you say
Why you treat me like you do

Well, I ain't no fool
Yeah, I'm cool, I know the rules


Said you'd never run around
Said you'd never stay out late
Said you'd never run around
Said you'd never stay out late

Let me tell, you pretty baby
Oh, I gotta set you straight

Said you'd never run around
Said you'd never stay out late
Said you'd never run around
Said you'd never stay out late

Let me tell you, pretty baby
Oh, I gotta set you straight

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Third Stone From the Sun” is a song written and originally recorded by Jimi Hendrix and released as “3rd Stone from the Sun” on the 1967 Are You Experienced album by Jimi Hendrix Experience. It is mostly an instrumental, but includes pieces of spoken word, performed by Hendrix, over the music.

The lyrics come from late Texas blues guitarist, Albert Collins' “Love Me Like You Say.” Gary pays homage to his fellow Texan’s sound immediately after the opening 3rd Stone hook–right before beginning to sing and also right before he launches into the final solo guitar run of the song.
