You Never Get What You Want Lyrics - Singles - Patty Griffin

"You first found me in my holding pen 

Stopped to take a look and stuck your finger in 

I bit one off and you came back again and again 

Then the nice people let me out one day 

And you told me how to act and what to say 

But you never get what you wanted that way 

You never get what you want 

You never get what you want 

And I don't think it's my fault 

You never get what you want, do you baby?

NEW SONG: Thomas Rhett 'Remember You Young' - LYRICS 

Everything's always such a mystery 

Including your sad little history 

Do you still think someone should take responsibility and pay 

Ever since I've know you you've walked that walk 

You've broken all the records, now you've broken all the clocks 

And every time it breaks my heart to hear you talk this way 

You never get what you want 

You never get what you want 

And I don't think it's my fault 

You never get what you want, do you baby? 

Everybody's been sad, everybody's been tragic 

Whole lot of hard times, whole little bit of magic 

These bitter, bitter fruits and these endless hallways 

They're killing us baby 

We gotta walk away, walk away 

You never get what you want 

You never, never get what you want 

You spend your whole time thinkin 'bout why I'm so deranged 

Well, honey, why don't you think about that for a change? 

You never get what you want 

You never get what you want 

Your whole damn life 

You never get what you want 

Not your whole damn life 

You never get what you want 

And I don't think it's my fault 

You never get what you want 

Do you baby? 

Do you baby? 

Do you baby? 

Do you baby?"
