Can't Always Get What You Want

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I saw what you did thats untold

Glass of wine in her hand

I knew she would make her connection

At her feet was a full loose man

chorus:

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 you just might find

You'll get what you need.

You'll get what you need

Well I went down to the demonstration

Just to get my best share of abuse

Singing 'were gonna bounce our frustration

And if we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse'

chorus:

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 you just might find

You'll get what you need.

You'll get what you need

Well I went to the Chelsea drugstore

Just to get your prescribtion filled

I was in line with Mr. Jimmy

And man, man did he look ill

We decided that we should get a cola

My favorite flavor cherry red

I sang my song to Mr.Jimmy

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

And I said to him

chorus:

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 you just might find

You'll get what you need.

You'll get what you need.

I saw what you did in Reception

In a glass was a bleeding man

She was practice in the arts of deception

You can tell by the blood stains on her hands

chorus:

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 you might find

You'll get what you need.

chorus:

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 you might find

You'll get what you need.

You'll get what you need.
