I saw her today at a reception
|
A glass of wine in her hand
|
I knew she would meet her connection
|
At her feet was her footloose 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
|
And if you try sometime you 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 might find
|
You get what you need
|
|
Oh yeah, hey hey hey, 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 gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
|
Sing it to me now...
|
|
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
|
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!
|
|
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, no!
|
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
|
You can't always get what you want (no)
|
But if you try sometimes you just might find
|
You get what you need
|
Oh yes! Woo!
|
|
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
|
Oh 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
|
|
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
