You Can't Always Get What You Want

You can't always get what you want

A glass of wine in her hand
At her feet was footloose man
My favorite flavor, cherry red

You can't always get what you want
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50 Amp fuse
I saw her today at the reception
At her feet was her footloose man
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
Sing it to me
You can't always get what you want, baby
But if you try sometimes you just might find
She was practiced at the art of deception
Oh yeah, oh baby, oh

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want,[Incomprehensible]
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
We decided that we would have a soda
You can't always get what you want, yeah
You can't always get what you want
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find

To get my fair share of abuse
You just might find you get what you need
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
Singing, we're gonna vent our frustration
You get what you need, oh baby, yeah, oh
To get your prescription filled
But if you try sometimes you just might find

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want, no, no, baby, baby
You can't always get what you want
You get what you need, yeah, oh baby, oh yeah

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want, no
In her glass was a bleeding man
You get what you need, oh yeah, oh
You get what you need, oh yeah, oh
And man, did he look pretty ill
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

And if you try sometime you'll find
I saw her today at the reception
You can't always get what you want, I'm tellin' ya baby
Yeah, and he said one word to me
I knew she would meet her connection
And I went down to the demonstration
And that was dead, I said to him
No, you can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find, that [Incomprehensible]you get what you need
You can't always get what you want, ooh yeah, yeah
