Track: 9


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 a footloose man...
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...but if you try sometimes you 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 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 and he said one word to me, and that was "dead,"
I said to him, "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--yeah, oh baby.
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.
You can't always get what you want...but if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find you'll get what you need...
