Please. It's Backstreet GIRL, maybe the most underrated Stones tune ever. Great accordion thing going on during a devastating commentary about having a girlfriend on the side.

I agree with your assessment. It's a very beautiful song about a subject that would not be popular with women. However as Mick and Keith are British males, they describe perfectly the upper class' opinion of s girl on the side. I personally love the song and used to sing it to my daughter when she was a baby. I changed the lyrics to "I love my hiney girl" which I sang over and over to the tune of the music. Ha ha!
