You Can't Always Get What You Want (Single Version / Mono) Lyrics

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 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, ah yeah

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
I said to him

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, no
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah

You get what you need, yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practised at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
Yeah, 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 just might find
That you get what you need, ah yeah
