You Can’t Always Get What You Want Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

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 sometime you might find
You get what you need

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 you


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
But if you try sometime you just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah, woah

You get what you need
Yeah, oh 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

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
Well, if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah
