Connection Lyrics
[Chorus]
All I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
[Verse 1]
Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go
[Chorus]
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make it, connection
All I want to do is to get back to you
[Verse 2]
My bags, they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect them
They're dying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go
[Chorus]
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
And all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
All I want to do is to get back to you
All I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
[Verse 1]
Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go
[Chorus]
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make it, connection
All I want to do is to get back to you
[Verse 2]
My bags, they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect them
They're dying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go
[Chorus]
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
And all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
All I want to do is to get back to you
About
Genius Annotation
An irresistibly charming fast pop-rocker with Mick and Keith sharing the microphone for the whole song. It is Keith’s favorite obscure Rolling Stones song, as admitted on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, while Mick holds a more restrained admiration for the song:
Oh yes, there IS another one (on Between The Buttons) that’s good called Connection, which is more or less Keith on his own. Yeah, that’s a good one…
- Mick Jagger, 1974
Lyrically, the song is about the various problems the group was facing during the time due to their recreational drug use that culminated in the famous drug bust of 1967.
