I saw her today at her reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
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, well, you just might
You get what you need
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, honey)
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
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
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
He said one word to me, and that was, "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want
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
You get what you need, oh, yeah
ย
Oh, you 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 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
You just might
You get what you need
Oh, yeah
ย
You can't always get what you want (No no, baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try, sometimes, you just might
You get what you need
You get what you need
ย
Oh yeah
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
