The latter, Green Lady. Well done!
BTW, do i detect a hint of exasperation in your response? I'd be grateful for any reply as to whether or not my clue is considered fair now that the answer has been revealed.
I believe flip-flops are generally known by that name in English-speaking countries.
"Fit" is as in Fitting Room where you try on clothes and, hopefully, to lose your grip speaks for itself.
[flings confetti all over Harlem Shuffler]
"I hope you didn't record any of this""No I didn't"
In the cold light of day this clue isn't as good as I thought it was so let's get it out of the way ASAP.
It's a line from the original issue of Some Girls and refers to approximately half of the country's population.
Talk about your favorite band.

Green Lady
It's not some damn line starting with He'll (heel) is it?
...or is it Flip-flop, fit to drop?

Exasperation with one's own inability to see the obvious is the normal state of clue-solvers (or this one, anyway). No criticism of the setter is intended. And flip-flops definitely go by that name around here.

Yayy yayy - I knew Green Lady would get it!
And I don't see anything unfair about the clue either.

Well, since Olly's AWOL... here's mine:
Your friendship puts me in a negative state of need that feels positive; I am unable to purify my hypodermic blue passages of my second-person foe.
An 80s Stones original.
Good luck to all!

Long hot as usual:

No and no, Harlem & Natural! But those are both insightful and witty answers -

Yayy, you're all on the right album! Wrong tracks - but amazingly well done!
The answer is only one line, and your aim should be a little more toward the cryptic side :E

"Stumblin' on my feet, shufflin' through the street"? 
Ya know... you can't shuffle through the street if cars are going by... get it?
"I hope you didn't record any of this""No I didn't"

If BreakingBlues' answer is wrong, dare I ask if we're talking about the original album rather than the reissue? Well, I can ask but you don't have to answer.

If it were a song from the reissue, perhaps:
"Why do I have to sell my Cadillac that I just paid for"?
EDIT: Or perhaps, more likely: "I've walked for miles, my feet are hurtin'"?
"I hope you didn't record any of this""No I didn't"

Wow, don't you just love the Rolling Stones?
A clue or two ago I was enchanted by all the footwear they mention - who knew?!
And now look at all the streets, all on one album + reissue.
But nope, it's not on the reissue - it's right there on the original.
And there's no street in the answer. It's cryptic! And question-marked!
You'll want to slap me upside the head when you find the solution!

"Am I rough enough?"
or
"What's the matter with you, boy?"
"I hope you didn't record any of this""No I didn't"

Well, it's not also a question - a question mark in cryptic crosswords that I'm accustomed to
means it's kind of a play on words, most likely a silly one that makes you feel like slapping the puzzle-setter :E
I'm going to sleep now, so here's an extra clue: What do cities with lots of traffic have?
This confession confesses the opposite.

Cities with lots of traffic have
-Cars
-Traffic jams (what's the opposite of a traffic jam?
)
-Lots of people
-Wasted time
I don't know... it can't be "I ran twenty red lights"... well, maybe it can, since it doesn't mention a street???
"I hope you didn't record any of this""No I didn't"
