You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Lyrics

[NEW DIRECTIONS] 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'll find You get what you need You get what you need [FINN & (NEW DIRECTIONS)] I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand Oh, I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was a footloose man No, you can't (You can't always get what you want) Oh, no, no you can't (You can't always get what you want) What you want... (You can't always get what you want) You can't always get what you want [NEW DIRECTIONS, (MERCEDES), (FINN)] But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You get what you need (Hey, yeah) You get what you need (Oh, baby) [RACHEL] And I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse [RACHEL & FINN] Singin', we're gonna vent our frustration If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse Sing it to me now [NEW DIRECTIONS] You can't always get what you want (Oh, no you can't) You can't always get what you want (Oh, oh) You can't always get what you want (Can't always get what you want) But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find (Try sometimes) You get what you need (Ohh) You get what you need (Ohh, yeah) You can't always get what you want (You can't always get what you want) You can't always get what you want (Ooh) You can't always get what you want (Can't always get what you want) But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You get what you need (Oh yeah) You can't always get what you want (No, no, no, no, no...) You can't always get what you want (No, no, no, no) You can't always get what you want (Ohh) But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You get what you need (Yeah) You get what you need You can't always get what you want You get what you need Oh, yeah, what you need, yeah Get... what... you... need!
