Lyrics: Can't Always Get What You Want

I saw her today at the reception
Glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would make 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 you just might find you get what you need
You get what you need

Well I went down to the demonstration jJust to get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration"
"And if we don't we're gonna blow a fifty 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 you just might find you get what you need
You get what you need

Well I went to the Chelsea drugstore just to get your prescription filled
I was in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man
Man did he look ill
We decided that we should get a cola
My favorite flavor
Cherry red
I sang 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 sometimes you just might find you get what you need
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practice in the arts of deception
You can tell it by the blood stains on her 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 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 get what you need
You get what you need
