Aretha Franklin - You Can't Always Get What You Want lyrics

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 just might find You get what you need Well, I saw her today at the reception A gla** of wine in her hand I knew she would go meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man No, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw No, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw No, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw But if you try sometime, you just might find You get what you need 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 are going to blow a 50-amp fuse", yeah And no, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw No, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Well, no, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw But if you try sometimes you just might find You get what you need, baby And I went down to the Chelsea d**tore To get your prescriptions filled I was standin' in line with Mr. Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided to have a soda "Whatcha favorite flavor?", "Cherry red" And I sung my song to my friend Jimmy And he said one word back to me, that was "Dead" I said Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw But if you try sometimes, you just might find You get what you need Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw You can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw You can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw You can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw And I saw her today at the reception In her gla** was a bleeding man And she was practised that the art of deception I could tell by her blood-stained hands Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw Oh, you can't always get what you want Aaaahhwaw But if you try sometimes you just might find You get what you need
