Bilingual
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was going to meet her connection
At her feet was her 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 sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
ย
I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're going to vent our frustration
If we don't, we're going to 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 sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
I went down to the drugstore
To get my prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided we'd have ourselves 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"
And I said to him
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 sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
If you try sometime, you just might find
You just might find
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
I could tell by her bloodstained 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 sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
ย
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
