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

Choir:

I saw her today at a 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

And if you try sometime you find

You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was gonna 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 sometimes you might find

You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh....

And I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singing, "We`re gonna vent our frustration

If we don`t we`re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

Sing it to me 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 baby, yeah, 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, no!

You can`t always get what you want (tell ya baby)

You can`t always get what you want (no)

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You get what you need

Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!

Oh yeah!

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 (no, no baby)

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, ah yes...
