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 |
|
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 might find |
|
You get what you need |
|
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" |
|
Rolling Stones |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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--yeah, oh baby |
|
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 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 |
|
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 |
