Bette Midler You Can`t Always Get What You Want I Shall Be Released Lyrics

You Can`t Always Get What You Want I Shall Be Released Lyrics

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 a footloose man



And I said, you can't always get what you want, honey

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

Well, you might just find, you'll get what you need



I went to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with your friend Jimmy

And man, did he look pretty ill



We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor is cherry red

I sung my song to my friend Mr. Jimmy

And he said one word to me and that was "dead'€?



And I said, that you can't always get what you want, honey

And you cannot always get the man that you want

And you cannot always get the man that you want

But if you try sometimes

I just might find, I just might find you get what you need



I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She was practiced at the art of deception

I could tell by her bloodstained hands



And 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

Just might find, you just might find you get what you need, ah yeah



And you can't always get what you want, honey

And you can't always satisfy your need

And you can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

I just might find, I just might find you get what you need
