Where is this "Je t'aime" lyric coming from ?

A first sign of the band 'losing it'.
The song tries to reach everywhere, but leads nowhere. It is a 'dance' song: a weak, bored groove.. Tries to have riff or hook a'la 'guess what': a bored, uninspired miss... Tries to lyricwise play with their dangerous past Satanic Majestise/Sympathy For The Devil/JJ Flash-imaginery, and ends up like a sterile, bad Grimm fairytail that only gathers co-shame..
It is also the reason why GOATS HEAD SOAP will always be remained "the album that started the downhill of the 70's"- as an opener it sets the mood for the album, of which it never reaches out.
Summa summarum: (a) to be recorded over-all, and (b) to be released as an important first track, it is a clear indication that the band was really losing its direction and self-judgement. (It is funny when the Stones always get caught so easily when the 'muse' or the 'mind' or the 'heart' is not there. Just like with SATANIC MAJESTIES album before.)
It did okay in 1973 tour, but that was not due to the song, but the hotness of the band.

Dear Doctor
great song, great lyrics
yes this album was less than the prior 4 the stones made, but so was every other album ever made by anyone
this album is underated ,as is IORR & Black & Blue
if you don't like any of these albums then you really are not a true stones fan
go to springsteen or dylans sites where you may belong
