Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

 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 sometime you find

 You get what you need

 We went down to the demonstration

 To get your fair share of abuse

 Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration

 If we don't we're gonna 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 sometimes well you just might 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

 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

 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 get what you need

 You 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 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

 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
