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 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 sometime
Oh, you might find
You get what you need, oh, 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, oh, Lord
You can't always get what you want, tell you, baby
You can't always get what you want, no
But if you try sometime
You just might find
You get what you need, oh, yes, oh
You get what you need, yeah
Ow, baby, oh, yeah
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
Sing it
You can't always get what you want, yeah
You can't always get what you want, true
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime
You just might find, you just might find
You get what you need, oh, yeah
