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 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, well, you 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 fifty-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 get what you need, ooh-oh yeah, mm-hmm
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 favourite flavour, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr Jimmy, yeah
And he said one word to me, and that was, "Dead"
And I said to him
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 get what you need
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want (yeah)
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
