Lyric 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 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 well you might find
You get what you need
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
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"
I said to him
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 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
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
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 just might find
You get what you need
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 well you might find
You get what you need
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
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled

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

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