Edit 2 (extra accordion) for headphones. Dubbed video. There's a lot of noise in the official cd releases of this song. I removed the noise as much as possible, used a trick of my own for that too, and added some extra accordion here and there. Enjoy. Oh, I created some less channel separation too. More the way the needle in a vinyl groove does its job...
From the UK album "Between the buttons" (January 20, 1967) and the US album "Flowers" (July 15, 1967).

BACKSTREET GIRL
(Jagger/Richards)
I don't want you to be high
I don't want you to be down
Don't want to tell you no lie
Just want you to be around
Please come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl
Please don't be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don't you bother my wife
That way you won't get no help
Don't try to ride on my horse
You're rather common and coarse anyway
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl
Please don't you call me at home
Please don't come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite right
Please take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me
Don't want you part of my world
Just you be my backstreet girl
Just you be my backstreet girl

* There's much discussion on which of these five instruments was used on the intro en further on in the song. I chose one of the the iorr.org forum members opinion:
It sounds like a vibraphone(or something similar) played higher up it's register with echo/reverb, hence the airy sound after the initial percussive strike to each note.
** It was the suggestion of Jack Nitzsche to engage Nick de Caro to play the accordion part. Nick was an established LA arranger for people like Sonny & Cher and many more.
