You Can't Always Get What You Want

• The TTA Tour

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 footloose man. Now you canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, But if you try sometimes youŽll find YouŽll get what you need.

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.

chorus: You canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, But if you try sometimes you might find YouŽll get what you need.

I went down to the demonstration, To get my fair share of abuse. Singing ŽweŽre gonna vent our frustrations, And if we donŽt weŽre gonna blow a 50-amp fuse.

You canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, But if you try sometimes you might find YouŽll get what you need.

I went down to the Chelsea drugs 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 canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, You canŽt always get what you want, But if you try sometimes you might find YouŽll get what you need.

YouŽll 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.
