I saw her today at the reception |

She had a glass of wine in her hand |
|
I knew she was gonna meet her connection |
|
And at her feet there was her footloose man |
|
You can't always get what you want |
|
I said you can't always get what you want |
|
You know you can't always get what you want |
|
But if you try sometimes you might find |
|
You get what you need, yeah |
|
Get what you need |
|
You know I went down to the demonstration |
|
Just to get my fair share of abuse |
|
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration |
|
And if we don't we're gonna blow a fifty amp fuse" |
|
You can't always get what you want |
|
I said you can't always get what you want |
|
You know you can't always get what you want |
|
But if you try sometimes you just might find |
|
You get what you need, oh yeah baby |

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore |
|
I was trying to get your prescription filled |
|
I was standing in line with Mr Jimmy |
|
And man, did he look pretty ill |
|
We decided that we were gonna have a soda |
|
My favorite flavor, cherry red |
|
I sung my little song to Mr Jimmy |
|
And he said one word to me, and that was "Dead" |
|
You can't always get what you want |

But if you try sometimes you just might find |
|
You just might find, you get what you need, yeah |

You just might get what you need |
|
You know I saw her today at the reception |
|
In her glass there was a bleeding man |
|
She was practiced at the art of deception |
|
I could tell by, I could tell by her blood-stained hands |
|
You can't always get what you want |
|
You know you can't always get what you want |
|
I said you cannot always get what you want |
|
But if you try sometimes you just might find |

You can't always get what you want |
