You Can't Always Get What You Want (Live)

The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want (Live)

I saw her today at a reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she would meet her connection

At her feet was her footloose man

No you can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

No You can't always get what you want

And if you try sometime you just might find

You get what you need

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 gonna blow a 50-amp fuse

Sing it to me now

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

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

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 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

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You get what you need
