Make No Mistake
Keith Richards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things ain't what they seem
I'm gonna scream and shout it
This is just a dream
A simple conversation
Every now and then
A touchy situation
What shall I do, if I should see you
And have to pretend that we have never met
Its not a cheap sensation
When you touch me with your hand
A little complication
Can hypnotize a man
How we gonna hide it
This thing with you and me yeah
Everyone can tell by now
I just can't lie you see
What shall I say to hide it, to hide it baby
No words can convey your lips melting into mine
No mistake, no mistake
Make no mistake, make no mistake about it
Make no mistake, c'mon make no mistake, make no mistake about it
I'm gonna make you mine, no need to talk it over, we're
running out of time
I've made up my mind about you
I know in my heart that you have the same point of view
Make no mistake, this is it
Make no mistake, make no mistake
It's not we don't have the time
Make no mistake
Not in the right place
make no mistake, make no mistake
Ooh come on baby, make no mistake
No mistake
I'm talking to ya baby
Make no mistake
The lyrics of Keith Richards's song, Make No Mistake, speak of a complicated relationship that the singer is having with someone. He begins by cautioning the listener not to mistake things for what they seem, indicating that there is more going on than meets the eye.

The lyrics go on to describe a situation where every now and then, a touchy situation fascinates a man, indicating that there may be an element of danger or excitement in the relationship.
The singer expresses a sense of confusion about the situation, wondering what he should do if he sees the person he is involved with, and has to pretend that they have never met. He then goes on to describe how a little complication can hypnotize a man, implying that he is struggling to resist the allure of the relationship. The singer also expresses a sense of desperation about the relationship, wondering how they are going to hide it from others, and indicating that everyone can tell by now that something is going on between them. Finally, he makes it clear that he has made up his mind about the person he is involved with and that he is going to make them his own.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex relationship that is causing the singer a considerable amount of stress and confusion. There is a sense of danger and excitement in the relationship, which is alluded to through the use of phrases like "touchy situation" and "a little complication." Ultimately, the lyrics seem to suggest that the singer has made up his mind about the relationship and is willing to risk the consequences to be with the person he loves.

«Не ошибись»
Не сомневайся, но все не так, как кажется,
я буду кричать и кричать, это всего лишь сон.
Простой разговор, время от времени
Трогательная ситуация, да, очаровывает человека.
(Что мне делать, если я увижу тебя)
(И должен притвориться, что мы никогда не встречались?)
Это не дешевое ощущение, когда ты касаешься меня рукой.
Небольшое осложнение, но оно может загипнотизировать человека.
Как мы будем это скрывать? Эта вещь с тобой и со мной, да
Все теперь могут сказать, я просто не могу лгать, понимаешь.
(Что я скажу, чтобы скрыть это?), Чтобы скрыть это, детка
(Никакие слова не могут передать твои губы, таящие в моих)
(Нет ошибок, нет ошибок), не делай ошибок, детка (не делай ошибок)
(Не ошибайся) об этом (не ошибайся) , (не ошибайся) давай.
Не заблуждайся об этом, я сделаю тебя своим.
Не нужно говорить об этом, у нас заканчивается время.
(Я принял решение о тебе, о)
(Я знаю, в моем сердце, что у тебя такая же точка зрения)
(Без ошибок), это ошибка (без ошибок, без ошибок)
(Без ошибок) ооо (без ошибок) не делай ошибок, детка (не делай ошибок) о, детка
О да (не делай ошибок) не делай ошибок (не делай ошибок) ...

Rest in peace Sarah Dash. What a beautiful voice.🌹
@bobblaszczak7972
Fantastic voice. What a great choice. Keith’s solo albums were so much better than Jaggers.
@kevinmalone8903
Best Stones album in the 80's, 90's etc😂
@Mikepleith
RIP Sarah Dash - beautiful voice that was the perfect contrast to Keefs - always loved this song..
@randos.946
Keith has an amazing knack of surrounding himself w/ extraordinary talent. His ability to orchestrate, construct and fine-tune projects has to be one of his most underrated and underappreciated talents. The ole boy needs to direct a movie .. Move over Quentin ... Move over Martin 😎'
@mikemayco7888
Make no mistake you're not going to hear a B3 solo very often. I love it!
@robmills1004
Did not know that this video existed! Love it !! Of course at 63 yrs of age, i'm just recently joined this world of the internet, so that probably explains it
@dionaddario6583
RIP Sarah Dash
@drlarrymitchell
Keith's best vocal.
