You Can't Always Get What You Want

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine was in her hand
She was waiting to make her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

And I said
You can't always get what you want
Yes I know
You can't always get what you want
I tell you something you can't
Always get what you want
But if you try sometime you just might find
You get what you need you get what you need

Well I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore
To get my, my prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr jimmy
And I said well the guy did look pretty ill
We decided, we decided to get a soda
I tell you my favorite flavor cherry red
I turned to look, Mr jimmy, he said one thing
He said one thing and that was this

He said girl
You know 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 sometime you just might find
You get what you need you get what you need

I think I need a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dream
An illusion 'bout the way it could've been
Left here alone so it seems
It seems like I've got to leave
Before I start to scream
Cause you know it feels
Like somebody's locked
The door and stole the key
Well are you feeling alright?
Oh girl I'm not feeling too good myself
No oh oh tell me woman
Are you feeling alright now? Cause you see
You see me I'm not feeling too good myself
No no no no and I'll tell you why

Cause I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
You know she's practiced at
The art of deception
I can tell by her blood-stained hands

I said you can't always get what you want
Oh no you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
Listen to me
But if you try sometime sometime
You just might find
You get what you need yeah
I'm getting I'm getting what I need
Everytime oh you get what you need
