One of my favorite Stones tracks. Lyrics are kind of hit or miss, typical sad Mick stuff, distrustful of women. But I love the late night vibe, and how the music really echoes the titular emotion - 'worried', late at night, alone...imagery of 'burnt out cigarette', 'those nights I spent, waiting on the sun' do a nice job evoking that quintessential Stones party lifestyle. Good vocal by Mick, really runs the gamut from the hesitant falsetto in the intro, to some impassioned growls as the song crescendoes.
All in all, the Stones get a lot of mileage out of a simple but evocative title phrase - 'worried about you'. Musically and lyrically, it all seems to build around that phrase. It works for me.
