You Can't Always Get What You Want

Lyrics

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 a foot-loose 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 foot-loose 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
 Well, you might find
 You get what you need
 Ah, yeah
 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 going to blow a 50-amp fuse"
 Sing it to me, honey
 You can't always get what you want
 You can't always get what you want, yeah
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try sometimes
 Well, you just might find
 You get what you need
 Ah, baby, yeah
 Ah
 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 favourite flavour, 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, well, no"
 You can't always get what you want, I tell you, baby
 You can't always get what you want, no
 But if you try sometime
 You just might find, uh, mm
 You get what you need, oh, yeah, woo
 ♪
 Woo!
 ♪
 You get what you need, yeah, ow, baby
 Ah, 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
 Sing it
 You can't always get what you want, yeah
 You can't always get what you want, ooh, yeah, child
 You can't always get what you want
 But if you try sometime, you just might find
 You just might find
 You get what you need, ah, yeah
 Ah, yeah, woo
 Ah, you can't always get what you want (no, no, baby)
 You can't always get what you want (you can't now, now)
 You can't always get what you want
 Hmm, but if you try sometime, you just might find
 You just might find that you get what you need
 Ah, yeah
 Ah, yeah, do that
