Song by The Rolling Stones<br /><br>

(M. Jagger/K. Richards) <br>

<br>

I saw her today at the reception <br>

A glass of wine in her hand <br>

I knew she would meet her connection <br>

At her feet was her footloose man <br>

<br>

No, you can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

But if you try sometime you find <br>

You get what you need <br>

<br>

We went down to the demonstration <br>

To get your fair share of abuse <br>

Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration <br>

If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" <br>

<br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

But if you try sometimes well you just might find <br>

You get what you need <br>

<br>

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore <br>

To get your prescription filled <br>

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy <br>

And man, did he look pretty ill <br>

We decided that we would have a soda <br>

My favorite flavor, cherry red <br>

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy <br>

Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead" <br>

I said to him <br>

<br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

But if you try sometimes you just might find <br>

You get what you need <br>

<br>

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby <br>

<br>

I saw her today at the reception <br>

In her glass was a bleeding man <br>

She was practiced at the art of deception <br>

Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands <br>

<br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

But if you try sometimes you just might find <br>

You just might find <br>

You get what you need <br>

<br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

You can't always get what you want <br>

But if you try sometimes you just might find <br>

You just might find <br>

You get what you need<br>

<br>
