Bilingual
I saw her today at the 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
But if you try sometimes you find
You 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
You can't always get what you want, Lord
You can't always get what you want, I tell you, baby
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh, yes
Woah
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, yeah
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, oh yeah
