Song 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 sometime,
You'll find you get what you need!
You get what you need!

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 foot-loose 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)
But if you try sometime,
Well you just might find you get what you need! (Hey)
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
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse
(50 amp fuse, sing it to me)

You can't always get what you want,
(Oh no you cant)
You can't always get what you want, (oh)
You can't always get what you want,
(Can't always get what you want)
But if you try sometimes, (try sometimes)
Well you just might find you get what you need!
(Yeah, aw)
You get what you need!

Oh oh oh oh oh 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,
(Can't always get what you want)
But if you try sometimes,
Well you just might find, you get what you need!

You can't always get what you want, (yeah, 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, (oh)
But if you try sometimes,
Well you just might find you get what you need!

Yeah yeah yeah

(You get what you need)
You can't always get what you want
You get what you need
Oh yeah What you need

Get what you need!
