You Can’t Always Get What You Want (Live 2013)

Lyrics

[Intro: Voce Chamber Choir] Well 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 No, 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'll find You get what you need [Audience Applause] [Verse 1] Well 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 No, you can't always get what you want You can't (Always get what you want) Go ahead? You can't (Always get what you want) That's right But if you try sometime You'll find You get what you need [Verse 2] And I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration And if we don't, we're going to blow a 50-amp fuse," yeah [Chorus] You can't always get what you want No, you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes Well, you might find You get what you need Ooh, yeah [Verse 3] I went down to the Chelsea drugstore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided to have a soda What's your favorite flavor? Cherry red I sung my song to my friend Jimmy Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead" And I said [Chorus] You can't always get what you want No, you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes Well, you might find You get what you need Truly [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Mick Jagger & (Audience)] (You can't always get what you want) (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 Well, you might find You get what you need Truly [Verse 4] You 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 blood-stained hands C'mon [Outro] 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 [Audience Applause] [Spoken Word: Mick Jagger] Yeah!
