You Can’t Always Get What You Want

I saw her today at the 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

But if you try sometime, you’ll 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 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, you might find

You get what you need ahhhhhhah yeah, ehhh Ohh

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”

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 ahhhhhhah baby, yeah, ahh 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”

You can’t always get what you want – no

You can’t always get what you want – hey 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 – yeah

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 – ohh yeah, ohh yeah, – wooah

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 that

You get what you need ahhhhhhah yeah, ahh yeah,
