You can't always get what you wantz

I saw her today at the reception

she had a glass of wine in her hand

She is practiced in the art of deception

and her feet ne'er touched the ground

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!



But if you try some time

you just might find

You know what you need!



Well, I went down to the demonstration

to get my fair share of the views

I was standing there next to Mr. Jagger

the man did a-look pretty confused

He said "you can't always get what you want!"

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

Indeed, you can't always get what you want!



But if you try some time

you just might find

You get what you need!
