"Coming Down Again" is a song by the Rolling Stones featured on their 1973 album Goats Head Soup. It is sung as a duet by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.

Credited to Jagger/Richards, "Coming Down Again" is largely the work of Richards, who went as far as to say "'Coming Down Again' is my song" at the time of its release.

Lyrics

[Chorus][x2]
Coming down again, coming down again

[Verse 1]
Share your thoughts, there's nothing you can hide
She was dying to survive
I was caught, oh, taken for a ride
She was showing no surprise

[Chorus]
Coming down again, coming down again
Where are all my friends, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again

[Verse 2]
On the ground again, coming down again
Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie
Tasting better every time
She turned green and tried to make me cry
Being hungry it isn’t no crime

[Chorus]
Coming down again, coming down again
All my time's been spent, coming down again
