You can't always get what you want

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 ma
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 oh yeah

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
