You Can't Always Get What You Want

歌詞

I saw her today at the reception a glass of wine in her hand I knew she was going to meet her connection I could tell by her blood stained hands You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want No you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes well you might find you get what you need I went down to the Chelsea drug store 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 vanilla cream and I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy and he said one word to me and that was dead You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want No you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes well you might find you get what you need I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Saying we're gonna vent our frustration And if we don't we're gonna blow a fifty amp fuse (c) 2002 Island Def Jam Music Group
