 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I saw her today at the reception 
A glass of wine in her hand 
I knew she was gonna meet her connection 
As 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 
You just might find 
You'll get what you need 

I went down to the demonstration 
To get my fair share of abuse 
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations" 
"And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" 

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'll get what you need 

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore 
To get your prescription filled 
I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy 
And man, did he look pretty ill 
We decided that we would have a soda 
My favorite flavor, was cherry red 
I sung my song to Mister Jimmy 
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead" 

You can't always get what you want 
You can't always get what you want 
You can't always get what you want 
You can't always get what you want 
You can't always get what you want 
You can't always get what you want 
No no, you can't always get what you want 
Oh, you can't always get what you want 
But if you try sometimes 
You just might find 
You'll get what you need 

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 bloodstained hands 
Oh, yes I could 

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 
Yeah, you just might find 
You'll get what you need 
Oh sugar, you'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah 
You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah 
You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
