For a bunch of alleged satanists, the Stones had quite the diverse faith. This is a spiritual song about relying on religion when all other routes have failed you; quite atypical of the band, who always preferred to paint themselves as outlaws, but strangely moving at the same time.

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Why do my thoughts loom so large on me?
They seem to stay for day after day
And won't disappear, I've tried every way
[Chorus]
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says, "Don't worry"
Oh, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
Where does she hide it inside of her?
That keeps her peace most every day
And won't disappear, my hair's turning grey
[Chorus]
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says, "Don't worry"
[Bridge]
"There's nothing in why or when
There's no use trying
You're here, begin again
And o'er again"
[Verse 3]
That's what she said so softly
I understood for once in my life
And feeling good most all of the time
[Chorus]
'Cause she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And said, "Don't worry"
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
[Instrumental Outro]
