I Just Want to See His Face Lyrics
[Verse]
That's all right, that's all right, that's all right
Sometimes you feel like trouble
Sometimes you feel down
Let this music relax your mind
Let the music relax your mind
Stand up and be counted, yeah
Can't get a witness
Sometimes you need somebody
If you have somebody to love
Sometimes you ain’t got nobody
And you want somebody to love, alright
Then you don't want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face
You don't want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face
(You just want to see His face)
(You just want to see His face)
(You just want to see His face)
(You just want to see His face)
That's all right, that's all right, that's all right
Sometimes you feel like trouble
Sometimes you feel down
Let this music relax your mind
Let the music relax your mind
Stand up and be counted, yeah
Can't get a witness
Sometimes you need somebody
If you have somebody to love
Sometimes you ain’t got nobody
And you want somebody to love, alright
Then you don't want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face
You don't want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face
(You just want to see His face)
(You just want to see His face)
(You just want to see His face)
(You just want to see His face)
About
Genius Annotation
“I Just Want To See His Face” is unusual in that it has a fade-in and fade-out, leaving the listener wondering what was left out, in the recording.
As it has never been played live, it is unlikely that any further insight will be gained into its composition.
Mick Jagger made the following comment in an Ultimate Classic Rock article:
“I Just Want to See His Face” was a jam with Charlie (Watts) and Mick Taylor. I think it was just a trio originally, though other people might have been added eventually. It was a complete jam. I just made the song up there and then over the riff that Charlie and Mick were playing. That’s how I remember it, anyway…
