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 wat you want
But if you try sometime, yeah
You just might find you get what you need
We went down to demonstration to get out fair share of abuse
Singing we gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we'll blow a fifty amp fuse
And you can't always get what you want
Honey, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get wat you want
But if you try sometime, yeah
You just might find you get what you need
So, I went to the Chelsea Drugstore to get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with my friend, Mr Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill
We decide that we would have a soda
My favority flavor was cherry red
I sing this song to my friend Mr Jimmy
And he said one word to me and that was dead
And you can't always get what you want
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass 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 wat 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
