You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was going, to meet her connection
But I could tell, by her blood stained hands
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need, you get what you need
I went down, to the Chelsea drug store
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill
And we decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor vanilla cream
And I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
And he said one word to me and that was dead
You can’t always get, what you want

No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need, you get what you need
You get what you need
I went down, to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Saying we’re gonna vent, our frustration
And if we don’t we’re gonna blow a fifty amp fuse
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need, you get what you need
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
No you can’t always get, what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need, you get what you need
You get what you need, you get what you need
