You Can't Always Get What You Want

"You can't always get what you want", take one

That's true, boy, let me tell you, you can't never get what you want, you gotta take what you want

Anything you want, grab it and take it, 'cause they gonna try to stop you from getting to the top of the hill

But when you get to the top of the hill, go and take your fill, eat it al, eat it all up

Well, I saw her today at the reception

She had a glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was there to make a connection

I saw her feet pointed towards the man

So, you can't always get what you want

So, you can't always get what you want, yeah

So, you can't always get what you want

If you want a man, you've got to take a man

If you want a woman, you've got to take a woman

If you want love, you've got to take love

If you want hate, you've got to take hate

If you want money, you've got to take money

If you want power, power, you've got to take power

Power, power, it's the thing of the hour

If you try sometime, you find

You get what you need, oh yeah

You get what you need, yeah yeah yeah, wow

And you're gonna get what you need, wow

You're gonna get what you need, yeah

I went to this demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

I was shouting words in their direction

Words I know would be refused

I said you can't always get what you want

No, you can't always get what you want

No, no, you can't always get what you want

You've got to take it, oh you've got to take

You've got to take what you want

You've got to take what you need

You've got to take what you wand, take what you need

If you want a man, you've got to take a man, yeah

If you want a woman, you've got to take a woman

If you want love, you've got to take love

If you want hate, you've got to take hate

If you want power, you've got to take power

Power, power, it's the thing of the hour

Power, power, power, it's the thing of the hour

If you try sometime, you'll find

You get what you need, oh yeah, yeah

You get what you need, yeah yeah, uh-huh

But you gotta take, take, take what you need and you want

Say you can't get what you want

Take what you want

And then take some more

And take it all, and eat it all up

And when you can't find that ... [?]

Eat every roots in the grass, eat up the rocks

And eat up the ... [?]

Just eat everything
