I saw her today at the reception Glass of wine in her hand I knew she
would make her connection At her feet was a footloose
man
chorus: 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. You get what you
need
Well I went down to the demonstration Just to get my fair share
of abuse Singing 'were gonna vent our frustration And if we don't, we're
gonna blow a 50-amp fuse'
chorus: 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'll get what you
need. You'll get what you need
Well I went to the Chelsea
drugstore Just to get your prescription filled I was in line with Mr.
Jimmy And man, man did he look ill We decided that we should get a
cola My favorite flavor cherry red I sang my song to Mr.Jimmy And he
said one word to me and that was 'dead' And I said to
him
chorus: 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'll get what you need. You'll get what
you need.
I saw her today at the reception In her glass was a
bleeding man She was practice in the arts of deception You can tell it by
the blood stains on her hands
chorus: 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'll get what you
need. chorus: 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'll get what you need. You'll get what you
need.
