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

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 might find

You get what you need

oh yeah

But I 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 fifty amp fuse"

sing it now

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

oh yeah

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

oh yeah

(solo)

You get what you need,

oh 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 get what you need

oh yeah

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

oh yeah

thanks for singing
