[Verse 1]
And I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hands
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
[Chorus]
Now 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 just might find
You get what you need
Yeah, you do, aye, aye
[Verse 2]
Yeah, and I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
And If we don't, we gonna blow a 50-amp fuse now"
Sing it to me, sister
[Chorus]
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
You just might find
You gеt what you need
You need
[Verse 3]
And I went down to the Chelsеa drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, man, did he look pretty ill, yeah
We decided that to have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
And I sung my song to my friend Jimmy
And he said one word back to me, and that was "dead"
I said:
[Chorus]
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 sometime
You just might find
You get what you need
You hear what I said?
Sugar
[Guitar solo]
Yeah, baby
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the arts of deception
I could tell, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
[Outro]
Now-ow, you can't always get what you want
Ah, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime
You just might find
You get what you need, ooh, yeah
Do it one more time
Now you can't always get what you want
Now you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime
Now you just might find
You get what you need
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
