YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

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

Chorus:

And 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 get what you need

I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singin', 'We're gonna vent our frustration

If we don't, we'll blow a 50-amp fuse

I went to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standin' in line with Mr. Jimmy

and man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor, cherry red

I sing this song to Mr. Jimmy

and he said one word to me, and that was 'dead'

I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She was practiced at the art of deception

I could tell by her blood-stained hands
