Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want
Author And Composer: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
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 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
|
And if you try sometimes you will 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 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
|
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"
|
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
|
ohhhh baby yeah ohhh
|
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
|
You can't always get what you want
|
But if you try sometimes
|
well you just might find
|
You get what you need ohhhh yeah ohhh
|
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 yeah
|
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 just might find
|
You get what you need ohh 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
|
well you just might find
|
You just might find
|
You get what you need ohh yeah
