at the reception
A glass of wine
in her hand
I knew she was

At her feet

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

I went down
to the Chelsea
drug store
To get your
prescription filled
I was standing in line
with Mr. Jimmy
And man

pretty ill
I said to him
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 yeah
Wow !
You get what you need
oh yeah baby

at the reception
In her glass
was a
bleeding man
She was practised
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 just might find
you just
you get what you need
Oh yeah
get what you need
Oh 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
You can't always get
what you want
