You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You'll find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a foot-loose man

No 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

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
And if we don't, we're gonna blow a fifty-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 get what you need

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
That you get what you need
