You Can't Always Get What You Want

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, you might find

You get what you need, ahh baby

You get what you need, ahh sugar

We went there to the demonstration

To get our fair shares of abuse

Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration

If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

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, ahh baby

You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

And she was practiced at the art of deception

I could tell by her bloodstained 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 get what you need, ahh baby

You get what you need

You get what you need

But if you try sometimes, you just might find

You get what you need…
