The redundancy of the lyrics is embarrassing; when Faith's new man, a square-jawed hunk straight out of a Winston ad, starts to make the moves on her, the Stones burst into the living room with "Don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire..." and the rest of the song's lyrics explain the obvious class difference in their relationship. One use of music that in particular teeters...
