I saw her today at the reception
|
A glass of wine in her hand
|
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
|
As 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
|
You just might find
|
You'll get what you need
|
|
I went down to the demonstration
|
To get my fair share of abuse
|
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations"
|
"And 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'll get what you need
|
|
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
|
To get your prescription filled
|
I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy
|
And man, did he look pretty ill
|
We decided that we would have a soda
|
My favorite flavor, was cherry red
|
I sung my song to Mister Jimmy
|
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
|
|
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 can't always get what you want
|
No no, you can't always get what you want
|
Oh, you can't always get what you want
|
But if you try sometimes
|
You just might find
|
You'll 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 bloodstained hands
|
Oh, yes I could
|
|
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
|
Yeah, you just might find
|
You'll get what you need
|
Oh sugar, you'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
|
You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
|
You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
