The Rolling Clones - You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
And I knew she would meet her connection
And her foot 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
Well if you try sometime you just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah yeah

And 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 50-amp fuse"
I said

You can't always get what you want baby
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want, no baby
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah yeah

And I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
A man, and he looked pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
And I sung my song to my friend Jimmy
And he said one word to me honey, and that was 'Dead'
I said

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 baby, yeah, oh yeah

You get what you need, oh baby, 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, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
I said

You can't always get what you want, yeah
You can't always get what you want, baby
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, oh yeah

Alright 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, oh yeah
