The problem with these old Track Talk treads is you've got to browse them to remember if you contributed to them already.
Anyway, this song gave me the creeps when it came out, Rolling Stones sans audible guitars and Mick in falsetto? It just represented a direction I wish the Stones had never taken after knowing so well what they were capable of. Naming the record after this track was unforgivable to me back then. Mick and his disco/dance infatuation was a big distraction for the Stones and they've never really recovered to some extent.
Anyway it's interesting that Mick quotes Prince as someone else doing falsetto at the time, I get the feeling he was a big Prince fan. He also said: "Yeah, it's all a joke, really."

mick started it back with fool to cry though right? or maybe even before then. either way, it was worn out and tired by 1980 and the fact that prince used it with great success was not a worthy excuse ;-)
can you imagine knowing that "start me up" was in the can and releasing this instead?

Where can we hear Keith's guitar? I hear some of Ronnie's in the ending, but haven't spotted Keith's yet...

It's Ronnie on bass not Bill!Quote

I like the studio recording better than live. That bass& drum pulsation has to be contained by the room; recorded live it looses its sound. Charlie and Bill are great on the original and then Mick is funny and great too. Ron & Keith are anecdotal here. I love that song like I love the Geico commercials; I know I shouldn't but I can help it.
Rockand roll,

Is there nothing I can say, nothing I can do
To change your mind, I'm so in love with you
You're too deep in, you can't get out, you're just a poor girl in a rich man's house
Yeah, baby, I'm crying over you
Don't you know promises were never made to keep
Just like the night, they dissolve up in sleep, I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue, I'll come to your emotional rescue
Yeah, the other night, crying, crying, baby, yeah I'm crying
Yeah, I'm like a child, baby, I'm like a child, baby
Child, yeah, I'm like a child, like a child, like a child, babe
You think you're one of a special breed, you think that you're his pet Pekinese
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue, I'll come to your emotional rescue
Yeah, I was dreaming last night, last night, I was dreaming
How you'd be mine, but I was crying, like a child, yeah, I was crying
Crying like a child, you could be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, all mine
You could be mine, could be mine, could be mine, all mine
I come to you so silent in the night, so stealthy, so animal quiet
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue, I'll come to your emotional rescue
Yeah, you should be mine, mine, ooh
Yes, you could be mine, tonight and every night
I will be your knight in shining armour, coming to your emotional rescue
You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine
You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine
I will be your knight in shining armour
