I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she would meet her connection

At her feet was a foot-loose man

No 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'll find

You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was gonna meet her connection

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

Well you might find

You get what you need

Ahh yeah-h-h

Oh

And I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singing "We're gonna vent our frustration

If we don't we're going to blow a 50-amp fuse"

Sing it to me honey

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 get what you need

Ah baby yeah

Ahh

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

And man did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor cherry red

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

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

I said to him

You can't always get what you want well no

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

You can't always get what you want no

But if you try sometime

You just might find uh mm

You get what you need oh yeah woo

Woo

You get what you need yeah ow baby

Ah yeah

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 blood-stained hands

Sing it

You can't always get what you want yeah

You can't always get what you want ooh yeah child

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometime you just might find

You just might find you get what you need ah yeah

Ah yeah wooh

Ah you can't always get what you want

No no baby

You can't always get what you want

You can't now now

You can't always get what you want

Mmm but if you try sometime you just might find

You just might find that you get what you need

Ah yeah

Ah yeah do that
