Rolling Stones - You Can’t Always Get What You Want lyrics

I saw her today at the reception<br>A glass of wine in her hand<br>I knew she was gonna meet her connection<br>At her feet was a footloose man<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>But if you try sometimes well you might find<br>You get what you need<br>And I went down to the demonstration<br>To get my fair share of abuse<br>Singing, we're gonna vent our frustration<br>If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>But if you try sometimes well you just might find<br>You get what you need<br>I went down to the chelsea drugstore<br>To get your prescription filled<br>I was standing in line with mr. jimmy<br>And man, did he look pretty ill<br>We decided that we would have a soda<br>My favorite flavor, cherry red<br>I sung my song to mr. jimmy<br>Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was dead<br>I said to him<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>But if you try sometimes you just might find<br>You get what you need<br>You get what you need--yeah, oh baby<br>I saw her today at the reception<br>In her glass was a bleeding man<br>She was practiced at the art of deception<br>Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>But if you try sometimes you just might find<br>You just might find<br>You get what you need<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>You can't always get what you want<br>But if you try sometimes you just might find<br>You just might find<br>You get what you need
