the rolling stones - you can't always get what you want (live 1975) lyrics
[instrumental intro]
[verse 1]
i saw her today at the reception
a gl-ss of wine in her hands
i knew she was gonna meet her connection
at her feet was a footloose man
[chorus]
now 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 might just find
you get what you need
oh yeah
[verse 2]
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 going to blow a 50-amp fuse”
sing it
[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
well, you just might find
you get what you need
[verse 3]
and 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 is cherry red
i sung my song to mr. jimmy
yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was “dead”
i said
[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
yeah, but if you try sometimes
well, you just might find
you get what you need
[guitar solo]
[saxophone solo]
[verse 4]
you get what you need, yeah, oh baby
i saw her today at the reception
in her gl-ss was a bleeding man
she was practiced at the art of deception
well i could tell, i could tell by her blood-stained hands
[outro]
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 get what you need
oh let’s do it one more time
you can’t always get what you want
you can’t always get what you want
you can’t always get what you want
yeah but if you try sometimes, you just might find
you get what you need
[audience applause]
