Intro:
I saw her today at the reception
А glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
Chorus:
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... Ahhhhhhh, yeah...
I went down to the demonstration,
To get my fair share of abuse.
Singing "we`re gonna vent our frustration,
And if we don`t we`re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse."
Chorus:
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`ll 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,
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead," I said to him:
Chorus:
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`ll get what you need, ...Oh yes
You`ll get what you need--yeah, oh baby.
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.
Chorus:
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 just might find
You`ll get what you need.
Chorus:
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 just might find
You`ll get what you need.
