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

And that her feat was a footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want

No, you can't always get what you want

You know you can't always get what you want

But if you try some time

You know you just might find

You get what you need

Yeah, I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

And singing, we're going to ven our frustration

And if we don't, we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse

Yeah, you know you can't always get what you want

I tell you, you can't always get what you want

You better believe, yeah, you can't always get what you want

Yeah, but if you try sometimes

You know that, you just might find

You get what you need

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, baby, come on

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

And 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

And then I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

Yeah, and he said one word, and that was dead, yeah yeah

You can't always get what you want

Hey ya, you can't always get what you want

Believe what I say, you can't always get what you want

Yeah, but if you try sometimes

You know that, you just might find

You get what you need

You get what you need

You get what you need

You get what you need

Yeah, you can't always, can't always get what you want

You know you can't always get what you want

People don't believe me, you can't always get what you want

Yeah, you gotta try, you gotta try

You gotta try, you gotta try

You gotta try with me

You gotta try with me

You can't always get what you need
