You Can’t Always Get What You Want Lyrics By The Rolling Stones

    london bach choir
    i saw her today at the reception
    a glass of wine in her hand
    i knew she would meet her connection
    at her feet was a footloose man
    no 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’ll find
    you get what you need

    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 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
    well you might find
    you get what you need
    ahh yeahhh
    oh

    and i went down to the demonstration
    to get my fair share of abuse
    singing we’re gonna vent our frustration
    if we don’t we’re going to blow a 50amp fuse
    sing it to me honey

    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
    well you just might find
    you get what you need
    ah baby yeah
    ahh

    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
    we decided that we would have a soda
    my favorite flavor cherry red
    i sung my song to mr jimmy
    yeah and he said one word to me and that was dead
    i said to him

    you can’t always get what you want well no
    you can’t always get what you want i tell you baby
    you can’t always get what you want no

    i saw her today at the reception
    in her glass was a bleeding man
