I saw what you did that's 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 'we're 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 practicing 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
