You Can't Always Get What You Want

Lyrics

I saw her today at her reception
 A glass of wine in her hand
 I knew she was gonna meet her connection
 At her feet was a footloose man
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try, sometimes, well, you just might
 You get what you need
 ♪
 And I went down to the demonstration
 To get my fair share of abuse
 Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
 If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
 (Sing it, honey)
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try, sometimes, well, you just might
 You get what you need
 ♪
 I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
 To get your prescription filled
 I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
 Man, did he look pretty ill
 We decided that we would have a soda
 My favorite flavor, cherry red
 I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
 He said one word to me, and that was, "dead"
 I said to him
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want (I tell you, baby)
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try, sometimes, you just might
 You get what you need, oh, yeah
 ♪
 Oh, you get what you need
 ♪
 I saw her today at the reception
 In her glass was a bleeding man
 She was practiced at the art of deception
 Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try, sometimes, you just might
 You just might
 You get what you need
 Oh, yeah
 ♪
 You can't always get what you want (No no, baby)
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try, sometimes, you just might
 You get what you need
 ♪
 You get what you need
 ♪
 Oh yeah
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
