As a young girl, I had a 45 rpm copy of "Satisfaction."  The words
were not the same ones that I hear when it is played on the radio
today.  In the verse about "doing this and deciding that" I swear Mick
sings "I'm trying to make some girl pregnant, but you see I'm on a
losing streak." (or losing sleep) which seems "nasty" enough to have
created a big foo-fah with the radio stations & whether or not they
sould play that song. I know it was banned from being played in some
areas.  I no longer have the original 45, and now that the lyrics are
"sanitized", it seems they are they only ones people remember.  Does
anyone have proof of my adolescent memory?  Did the Stones ever write
about it?

This is the only thing I could find on the Web:

The lyrics I've found everywhere are as I remember them from my youth:

"When I'm ridin' round the world
 And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
 And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
 Baby, better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak..."

Radio stations in my area of the country got upset about the "tryin'
to make some girl" line. They didn't like "I can't get no girl
reaction" either. Gosh, how times have changed. This song sure seems
mild compared to what's on the radio these days!

Can't Get No Satisfaction

"I can't get no satisfaction, 
I can't get no satisfaction. 
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try. 
I can't get no, I can't get no. 

When I'm drivin' in my car 
and that man comes on the radio 
and he's tellin' me more and more 
about some useless information 
supposed to fire my imagination. 
I can't get no, oh no no no. 
Hey hey hey, that's what I say. 

I can't get no satisfaction, 
I can't get no satisfaction. 
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try. 
I can't get no, I can't get no. 

When I'm watchin' my TV 
and that man comes on to tell me 
how white my shirts can be. 
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke 
the same cigarrettes as me. 
I can't get no, oh no no no. 
Hey hey hey, that's what I say. 

I can't get no satisfaction, 
I can't get no girl with action. 
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try. 
I can't get no, I can't get no. 

When I'm ridin' round the world 
and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that 
and I'm tryin' to make some girl 
who tells me baby better come back later next week 
'cause you see I'm on losing streak. 
I can't get no, oh no no no. 
Hey hey hey, that's what I say. 

I can't get no, I can't get no, 
I can't get no satisfaction, 
no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction."

From my experience hearing the song on the radio lo, these many years,
I don't think there was more than one version.  I don't have a Rolling
Stones reference tome, but "The Billboard Book of Number One Albums"
has three paragraphs on the song in its discussion of the "Out of Our
Heads" album, and it doesn't say anything about multiple released
versions of the lyrics.  Nor do the two paragraphs on the song in "The
Heart of Rock and Soul" by Dave Marsh.

Dear pogo2

I have been listening to and reading about the Stones for many years,
and I have never heard of satisfaction having a different set of
lyrics or that they were ever sanitized in any way.  "I'm trying to
make some girl who tells me baby better come back maybe next week"
etc. have as far as I know always been the lyrics to that verse.
