|
I met a man all dressed in white
|
|
While walking down life's road
|
|
He was one of four
|
|
Who would not share his heavy load
|
|
Now Lennon is a superstar
|
|
Why did his planets die?
|
|
If mass equals velocity
|
|
He should be flying high
|
|
You don't always get what you want, babe
|
|
You don't always get what you want, babe
|
|
You don't always get what you want
|
|
When you want it, you can't get it

I met a man all dressed in black
|
|
While walking down life's road
|
|
He was one of five
|
|
One who cannot share his heavy load
|
|
Now Jagger is a superstar
|
|
Why did his planets die?
|
|
If mass equals velocity
|
|
He should be flying high
|
|
You don't always get what you want, babe
|
|
You don't always get what you want, babe
|
|
You don't always get what you want
|
|
And when you want it, you can't get it
|
|
I looked around upon that road
|
|
But I was all alone
|
|
The stars were bright above my head
|
|
But slowly changed their form
|
|
Now comets come and comets go
|
|
Defeated in the end
|
|
While stages light with spotlights bright
|
|
Another star ascends
|
|
You don't always get what you want, babe
|
|
You don't always get what you want, babe
|
|
You don't always get what you want
|
|
And when you want it, you can't get it
|
|

You can get it
