I really like this song and my fiance likes it too....cant find anything he likes but im listening to the lyrics....doesnt sound much like a love song.

From the song: "I watched you suffer a dull aching pain / Now you decided to show me the same."

Yeah, not really a love song.

I love that song though.  I'd still slow dance to it.  Supposedly it's a mix of heartache from Keith Richards being on the road and heartache from Mick Jagger's girlfriend almost dying of a drug overdose.

We played it at our wedding because I think the chorus is so pretty, but it wasn't the first dance song.

I had a friend who used this as her first dance song.  If you both like it, go for it.  The song should have meaning to you.  Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of it.
