You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 (I saw her today at the reception)

2 (A glass of wine in her hand)

3 (I knew she would meet her connection)

4 (At her feet was her footloose man)

5 (No, you can't always get what you want)

6 (You can't always get what you want)

7 (You can't always get what you want)

8 (But if you try sometime, you'll find)

9 (You get what you need)

10 I saw her today at the reception

11 A glass of wine in her hand

12 I knew she was gonna meet her connection

13 At her feet was her footloose man

14 You can't always get what you want

15 You can't always get what you want

16 You can't always get what you want

17 But if you try sometime, well, you might find

18 You get what you need

19 Oh, yeah

20 Oh

21 And I went down to the demonstration

22 To get my fair share of abuse

23 Singing, we're gonna vent our frustration

24 If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse

25 Sing it to me, honey

26 You can't always get what you want

27 You can't always get what you want

28 You can't always get what you want

29 But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find

30 You get what you need

31 Oh, baby, yeah

32 Oh

33 I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

34 To get your prescription filled

35 I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

36 And, man, did he look pretty ill

37 We decided that we would have a soda

38 My favorite flavor, cherry red

39 I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

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

41 I said to him

42 You can't always get what you want, Lord

43 You can't always get what you want, I tell you this, baby

44 You can't always get what you want, baby

45 But if you try sometimes, you just might find, oo

46 Oo, you get what you need

47 Oh, yeah

48 Whoo

49 (Oh)

50 Ah-oo

51 You get what you need

52 Yeah

53 Oh, baby

54 Oh, yeah

55 I saw her today at the reception

56 In her glass was a bleeding man

57 She was practiced at the art of deception

58 Well, I could tell by her bloodstained hands

59 Sing it

60 You can't always get what you want, yes

61 You can't always get what you want, ooh, yeah, yeah

62 You can't always get what you want

63 But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you just might find

64 You get what you need

65 Oh, yeah

66 Oh, yeah

67 Whoo

68 Oh, you can't always get what you want, no, no, baby

69 You can't always get what you want, standing in line now

70 You can't always get what you want

71 Mm, but if you try sometimes, you j-just might find, you just might find there's something

72 You get what you need

73 Ah, yeah

74 Ah, can you do that?
