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 her foot-loose man--.
And you can't always get what you want-,
Honey, you can't always get what you want-
You can't always get what you want-
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
I went down to the demonstration
to get our fair share of abuse--,
Singing, "We gonna vent our frustration"
If we don't we'll blow a fifty amp fuse-
So, I went to the Chelsea Drugstore
to get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with your friend Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill--
We decided that we would have a soda-,
My fav'rite flavor was cherry red--
I sing this song to my friend, Jimmy,
And he said one word to me and that was "dead"
And you can't always get what you want-,
Honey, you can't always get what you want-
You can't always get what you want-
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
And you saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man-
She was practised at the art of deception,
I could tell by her blood-stained hands
And you can't always get what you want-,
Honey, you can't always get what you want-
You can't always get what you want-
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
And you can't always get what you want-,
Honey, you can't always get what you want-
You can't always get what you want-
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
