You Can't Always Get What You Want

Lyrics

I saw her today at a reception
 A glass of wine in her hand
 I knew she would meet her connection
 At her feet was her footloose man
 No, you can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 And if you try sometime you find
 You get what you need
 I saw her today at the reception
 A glass of wine in her hand
 I knew she was gonna meet her connection
 At her feet was her 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 you might find
 You get what you need
 Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...
 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 to me now...
 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 find
 You get what you need
 Oh baby, yeah, yeah!
 I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
 To get your prescription filled
 I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
 And 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
 Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
 I said to him
 You can't always get what you want, no!
 You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
 You can't always get what you want (no)
 But if you try sometimes you just might find
 You get what you need
 Oh yes! Woo!
 You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
 Oh yeah!
 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 find
 You just might find
 You get what you need
 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 find
 You just might find
 You get what you need, ah yes...
