You Can't Always Get What You Want - Live

And I saw her today at the reception
And glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
Okay, guys

Now you can't (always get what you want) yeah
Now you can't (always get what you want)
Now you can't (always get what you want) yeah
And if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need
Baby, yeah

And 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"
Come on, gals

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need
Baby, oh truly

And I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
Yeah man, did he look pretty ill
We decided to have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
And I sung my song to my friend Jimmy
And he said one word back to me, and that was "dead"
I said

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby (You get what you need)
Come on, you

(You get what you need)
(You get what you need)

You get what you need, baby
(You get what you need) oh yeah

And 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 blood-stained hands

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
Oh baby (what you need)
Oh yeah, come on
I know, baby
Come up to me
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Yeah...
