You Can't Always Get What You Want (Remastered 2018)

I saw her today at reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she would meet her connection

At her feet was her footloose man

And I said that you can't always get what you want

Honey, you can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometime, well then you might just find

You get what you need

I went to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standin' in line with your friend, Jimmy

And man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor is cherry red

I sung my song to my friend, Mr. Jimmy

And he said one word to me and that was then

And I said that you can't always get what you want

Honey, as you cannot always get the man that you want

And you cannot always get the man that you want

But if you try sometime, well then you might just find

You just might find, you might find you get what you need

I saw her today at reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She wa practiced at the art of deception

I could tell by her blood-stained hands

And I said that you can't always get what you want

Whoa, you can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometime, well then you might just find

You just might find, you find you get what you need

And you can't always get what you want

And you can't always satisfy your greed

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometime, well then you might just find

You just might find, you get what you need
