You Can't Always Get What You Want

You Can't Always Get What You Want - Age Of Rock

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 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

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

I said to him

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 just might find

You get what you need

You get what you need--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

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 just might find

You just

You get what you need

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
