Leppard Def You Can`t Always Get What You Want Lyrics

You Can`t Always Get What You Want Lyrics

I saw her today at the reception 

A glass of wine in her hand 

I knew she was gonna meet her connection 

As at her feet was a 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 just might find 

You'll get what you need 



I went down to the demonstration 

To get my fair share of abuse 

Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations" 

"And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" 



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'll get what you need 



I went down to the Chelsea drugstore 

To get your prescription filled 

I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy 

And man, did he look pretty ill 

We decided that we would have a soda 

My favorite flavor, was cherry red 

I sung my song to Mister Jimmy 

And he said one word to me, and that was "dead" 



You can't always get what you want 

You can't always get what you want 

You can't always get what you want 

You can't always get what you want 

You can't always get what you want 

You can't always get what you want 

No no, you can't always get what you want 

Oh, you can't always get what you want 

But if you try sometimes 

You just might find 

You'll 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 

Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands 

Oh, yes I could 



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 

Yeah, you just might find 

You'll get what you need 

Oh sugar, you'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah 

You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah 

You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
