Bette Midler - You Can't Always Get What You Want/i Shall Be Released lyrics

I saw her today at the reception A gla** of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was a footloose man And I said, you can't always get what you want, honey You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes Well, you might just find, you'll get what you need I went to the Chelsea d**tore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with your friend Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would have a soda My favorite flavor is cherry red I sung my song to my friend Mr. Jimmy And he said one word to me and that was "dead And I said, that you can't always get what you want, honey And you cannot always get the man that you want And you cannot always get the man that you want But if you try sometimes I just might find, I just might find you get what you need I saw her today at the reception In her gla** was a bleeding man She was practiced at the art of deception I could tell by her bloodstained hands And 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 But if you try sometimes Just might find, you just might find you get what you need, ah yeah And you can't always get what you want, honey And you can't always satisfy your need And you can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes I just might find, I just might find you get what you need
