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
