You Can't Always Get What You Want

What you see in me is a symbol of my youth

A promise I can't keep to you

I hope you understand that this is just a body

And time will take its toll on me

Health or disease

You never know what you'll get

Might as well live gratefully

Sex and desire

Two things we'd like to have

But without love, it's all the same

You can't always get what you want

You can't always know what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always know what you want

One can only hope that beauty lies ahead

And to see it without judgment or fear

That when it all goes wrong

I hope I'll have the courage

I hope I have it inside of me

You can't always get what you want

You can't always know what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always know what you want
