You Can't Always Get What You Want

Lyrics

You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 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 get what you need
 ♪
 I saw him today at the reception
 Standing there with a glass in his hand
 I knew he would meet his connection
 His cancels that all turn and sing
 Said you can't always get what you want
 No, you can't always get what you want
 Said you can't always get what you want
 But if you try sometime, you just might find
 You get what you need, need, need, you get what you need, yeah
 He dressed up, go to the demonstrations
 To get his fair share of abuse
 He wanted to be an overnight sensation
 And if he don't, he's gon' blow a 50 amp fuse, oh-oh-oh
 You can't always get what you want, oh yeah
 You can't always get what you want, no-no
 You know you can't always get what you want
 But if you try sometimes, you just might find
 You get what you need, get what you need
 ♪
 He goes to the drugstore near the station
 Some say to get his prescriptions filled
 He's practiced at the art of deception
 No one can tell what he really feels, yeah-yeah-yeah
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want, aw-aw-aw
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try sometimes, say you just might find
 You get what you need, need, get what you need, oh yeah
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 You try sometime, you just might find
 You get what you need, need
 ♪
 (Overnight sensation) overnight sensation
 (Education) education
 (There's no relation)
 (I need a vacation) I need a vacation
 (And we need elation) and we need elation
 (With some cooperation)
 (And we need the patience, hoo) oh, you
 You can't always get what you want (you can't always get what you want, oh no)
 You can't always get what you want (get what you want, well, no you can't)
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want
 It's a feeling, off the ceiling
 Get on, get on down now, to the real nitty gritty, yeah-yeah
 That bass is pumpin' (you can't always get what you want)
 But you can't get it and you can't get it now (you can't always get what you want)
 You know that you can't always get what you want
 What you want, what you want
 Oh, you, you can't always get what you want, oh yeah, no, no
 But do you know? (You can't always get what you want)
 Second-best will stand a chance, yes it will, oh, yes it will
