	definitely one of my favorite stones songs....i think this is just about taking chances and dealing with whatever life throws at you.....

No Picture Chase Average	#2 by Chase K at Aug 4, 1995 at 11:36 PM EST
	What a brilliant acappella breakdown - the got to roll me/got to roll me part towards the end. It simultaneously breaks down and builds up, with such ease.

No Picture Scott Average	#3 by Scott Reihlmann at Dec 2, 1996 at 2:06 AM EST
	I think it's most likely about some 'James Bond' type guy, someone who loves em them then leaves em a player if you will

No Picture I * El CiD Average	#4 by I * El CiD at Jul 6, 2004 at 6:50 AM EST
	the best song on exile on mainstreet. classic stones song

No Picture Skye Average	#5 by Skye at Jan 11, 2005 at 3:51 AM EST
	I think Jagger is just using gambling as a metaphor for his permiscuous life style. ..."And make me burn the candle right down" is pretty song sexual innuendo to say the very least. I almost want to say that he's saying he doesn't have the same sexual vitality anymore and thus girls are taking a chance on him by "rolling the dice." In any case, one of my favs by the Stones

	Is it just me or am I the only one who can only grasp 20% of the lyrics in this song. It justs make me laugh every time I hear it. I normally challenge people to give me an entire verse.
