You Can’t Always Get What You Want - Live

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 her 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 sometimes you 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 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 sometimes you might find

You get what you need

Oh yeah, baby

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 gonna blow a 50 amp fuse"

Sing it to me, ladies

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

Oh, baby, 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

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, Lord

You can't always get what you want, I tell you, baby

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You get what you need

Oh, yes

Woah

You get what you need, yeah, oh baby

Oh, forget it

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

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You just might find you get what you need, oh yeah

You can't always get what you want, no, no

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 just might find you get what you need

Oh, yeah

Oh, you get what you need
