You Can't Always Get What You Want by

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I know, she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

No, 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 sometime, you just might find
You got what you need

Baby, alright
Yeah, I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standin' aline with Mr. Jimmy
A man, did he look pretty ill?

We decided to have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to my friend, Jimmy
And he said one word back to me
And that was dead, I said

No, you can't always get what you want
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
Ever try sometime, well you just might find
Well you just might find, you get what you need

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

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
But if you try, you just might find
You just might find, you got what you need

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
Hey baby if you try, you just might find
You just might find, you get what you need
