Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion in 1964, becoming identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. They then found greater success with their own material, as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965), "Get Off of My Cloud" (1965), and "Paint It Black" (1966) became international number-one hits. Aftermath (1966) β their first entirely original album β is considered by The Daily Telegraph to be the most important of their formative records. In 1967, they had the double-sided hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" and experimented with psychedelic rock on Their Satanic Majesties Request. They returned to their rhythm and blues roots with hit songs such as "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1968) and "Honky Tonk Women" (1969), and albums such as Beggars Banquet (1968), featuring "Sympathy for the Devil", and Let It Bleed (1969), featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter". Let It Bleed was the first of five consecutive number-one albums in the UK.
Jones left the band shortly before his death in 1969, having been replaced by guitarist Mick Taylor. That year they were first introduced on stage as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". Sticky Fingers (1971), which yielded "Brown Sugar" and included the first usage of their tongue and lips logo, was their first of eight consecutive number-one studio albums in the US. Exile on Main St. (1972), featuring "Tumbling Dice", and Goats Head Soup (1973), yielding the hit ballad "Angie", were also best sellers. Taylor was replaced by Ron Wood in 1974. The band continued to release successful albums, including their two largest sellers: Some Girls (1978), featuring "Miss You", and Tattoo You (1981), featuring "Start Me Up". Steel Wheels (1989) was widely considered a comeback album and was followed by Voodoo Lounge (1994), a worldwide number-one album. Both releases were promoted by large stadium and arena tours, as the Stones continued to be a huge concert attraction; by 2007 they had recorded the all-time highest-grossing concert tour three times, and as recently as 2021 they were the highest-earning live act of the year. From Wyman's departure in 1993 to Watts' death in 2021, the band continued as a four-piece core, with Darryl Jones playing bass on tour and on most studio recordings, while Steve Jordan became their touring drummer following Watts' death. Their 2016 album, Blue & Lonesome, became their twelfth UK number-one album.
The Rolling Stones' estimated record sales of 200 million make them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The band has won three Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Billboard magazine and Rolling Stone have ranked the band as one of the greatest of all time.

The Rolling Stones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And wore my cold, cold heart
And your wrote your name right on my back
Boy your nails were sharp
Well don't stop
Honey don't stop
Don't stop
Well I love your screams of passion
In the long hot summer night
But you pepper me with poison darts
And twisted in your knife
Yeah don't stop
Honey don't stop
I don't stop
Baby don't stop
Well the only thing I ask of you
Is to hand me back some pride
Don't you dump me on some dusty street
And hang me out to dry
Don't stop
Honey don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Oh honey
Yeah I'm losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There's a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way
And some memories have tattered as they've torn
Don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Honey baby don't stop
Honey honey
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Come on honey don't stop
Well baby
Don't stop
Baby baby don't stop
My honey don't stop
Don't ya stop
Don't stop
The Rolling Stones' song, "Don't Stop," is a song about a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics describe a lover who has hurt the singer, yet the singer can't help but be drawn back to them despite the pain. The line "You bit my lip and drew first blood" implies that this lover is someone who likes to play rough, and the line "And your wrote your name right on my back, boy your nails were sharp" suggests that this person has left a lasting mark both physically and emotionally. Despite the pain this person inflicts, the singer can't "stop" loving them, and begs them not to stop either.
The singer also speaks to the lover's poison darts and twisted knife, indicating that they are aware of the ways in which this person has hurt them. They also ask for their pride back, but do not ask for the lover to stop hurting them altogether. It seems that the singer is willing to put up with this lover's mistreatment as long as they don't completely abandon them.
Overall, "Don't Stop" is a song about a dysfunctional relationship where one person is causing pain but both parties are unable to let go. It captures the complicated feelings that can exist within romantic relationships and the grey area between love and pain.

Well you bit my lip and drew first blood
You hurt me deeply, both physically and emotionally.
And wore my cold, cold heart
You broke down my emotional barriers and entered my heart.
And your wrote your name right on my back
You marked me as yours, leaving a permanent trace of your presence.
Boy your nails were sharp
You hurt me deeply, leaving me with physical scars.
Well don't stop
Please continue, don't stop what you're doing.
Honey don't stop
My dear, keep going, don't stop.
Don't stop
Keep going, don't stop.
Baby don't stop
Don't stop, my love.
Well I love your screams of passion
I enjoy the sounds of pleasure you make.
In the long hot summer night
During those hot, passionate nights.
But you pepper me with poison darts
You hurt me deeply with your verbal attacks.
And twisted in your knife
You continued to hurt me emotionally.
Yeah don't stop
Don't stop what you're doing, keep going.
Honey don't stop
My dear, please don't stop, keep going.
I don't stop
I won't stop, keep going.
Baby don't stop
My love, keep going, don't stop.
Well the only thing I ask of you
The only thing I request from you.
Is to hand me back some pride
Is to restore my self-respect and dignity.
Don't you dump me on some dusty street
Don't abandon me in a deserted, hopeless place.
And hang me out to dry
And leave me exposed and vulnerable.
Yeah I'm losing you
I can feel you slipping away from me.
I know your heart is miles away
I understand that you are emotionally distant.
There's a whisper there where once there was a storm
Your passion and intensity have faded, replaced by a quiet, distant presence.
And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way
The only thing remaining is the memory of what once was, but I will continue searching for a solution.
And some memories have tattered as they've torn
Some of our shared memories have been damaged and destroyed.
Come on honey don't stop
Please keep going, my dear.
Well baby
Oh my dear.
My honey don't stop
Please don't stop, my love.
Don't ya stop
Don't stop, keep going.
Don't stop
Please keep going, don't stop.
