I saw her today at the reception
|
a glass of wine in her hand
|
I knew she was going
|
to meet her connection
|
I could tell
|
by her blood stained hands
|
|
You canĄ¯t always get
|
what you want
|
You canĄ¯t always get
|
what you want
|
No you canĄ¯t always get
|
what you want
|
but if you try sometimes
|
well you might find
|
you get what you need
|
|
I went down
|
to the Chelsea drug store
|
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 vanilla cream
|
and I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
|
and he said one word to me
|
and that was dead
|
|
You canĄ¯t always get
|
what you want
|
You canĄ¯t always get
|
what you want
|
No you canĄ¯t always get
|
what you want
|
but if you try sometimes
|
well you might find
|
you get what you need
|
|
I went down
|
to the demonstration
|
To get my fair share of abuse
|
Saying weĄ¯re gonna vent
|
our frustration
|
And if we donĄ¯t weĄ¯re gonna blow
|
a fifty amp fuse
