	great song....one of their best and always makes you think about the one you want so bad but just can't have at the moment.....i like it though because it isn't one of those sappy love songs about someone ignoring you.....he is very optimistic as he sings it.

	I believe this was actually written by Keith about Anita Pallenberg, he was sick of her games and he just wanted to make love to her. "Saying shit to get laid" is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, you completely missed the point of the song, its the opposite of that. He's through "saying shit to get laid", he's not trying to decieve her, he's just straight forward asking her to make love to him, that's it.

	When I was young, I thought Mick was singing "I'll never leave your pizza burning." Now, if he'd just said that, and if I were the girl, I'd be with him in a heartbeat.

	He's lying when he says he'll never be her beast of burden. He'll do anything, anything, so she'll make love to him and be his. She can throw him out and treat him bad, as long as she puts him out of his misery (ie has sex with him). He's so enthralled that he can't even keep up a modicum of self-respect.

No Picture Austin Average	#5 by Austin Reihl at Jul 16, 2006 at 6:46 PM EST
	one of those songs that makes you forget to breath

No Picture matt Average	#6 by matt rigg at Aug 23, 2006 at 9:04 PM EST
	oh...come on u guess kno the story..its a classic tail and a spoiled girl getting chased by a guy and she's having him jump through hoops for her...and he's fed out with...this song is his way of venting his frustration

No Picture joe Average	#7 by joe barker at Sep 13, 2006 at 5:36 AM EST
	This song means so much to me.....it's great!

No Picture Rivers Average	#8 by Rivers Light at Oct 9, 2006 at 1:02 AM EST
	my first impression of this song is that it is absolutly amazing and that i want somebody to feel that way about me. but after closer consideration im wondering if he just wants sex that bad that he's just saying shit to get laid.

No Picture Senour Average	#9 by Senour Dakota at Nov 2, 2006 at 4:51 AM EST
	everything in the song compliments itself so well. no one can do this song justice but the stones themselves.

No Picture Lauren Rhythm Player	#10 by Lauren A at Nov 3, 2006 at 8:10 AM EST
	to those above, nice work explaining the song. you guys are cool.....nope. anywho, i think Beast of Burden is about a guy who wants this girl, but she keeps on telling him "I ain't your kind of man"

No Picture jack Average	#11 by jack at May 26, 2007 at 11:01 PM EST

	I used to think Mick Jagger said, "Suck a duck", rather than, "Yeah, all your sickness I can suck it up"
