I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
And her feet was a foot-loose 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
I went down to demonstration to get my fair share of abuse
Singing we gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we gonna blow a fifty 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 might find you get what you need
I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore to get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill
We decide that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I song my song to Mr Jimmy
And he said one word to me and that was dead
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
But if you try sometimes,
You might find you get what you need
