DEF LEPPARD - You Can'T Always Get What You Want lyrics

rate me

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was gonna meet her connection

As 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

You just might find

You'll get what you need

I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations"

"And 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'll get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy

And man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor, was cherry red

I sung my song to Mister Jimmy

And he said one word to me, and that was "dead"

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

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

Oh, you can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes

You just might find

You'll get what you need

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 bloodstained hands

Oh, yes I could

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

Yeah, you just might find

You'll get what you need

Oh sugar, you'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah

You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah

You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
