You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics - Rusted Root

I saw her today at the reception 

A glass of wine in her hand 

I knew she was going, to meet her connection 

But I could tell, by her blood stained hands 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

But if you try sometimes, you just might find 

You get what you need, 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 did he look pretty ill 

And we decided that we would have a soda 

My favorite flavor vanilla cream 

And I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy 

And he said one word to me and that was dead 

You cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

But if you try sometimes, you just might find 

You get what you need, you get what you need 

You get what you need 

I went down, to the demonstration 

To get my fair share of abuse 

Saying were gonna vent, our frustration 

And if we dont were gonna blow a fifty amp fuse 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

But if you try sometimes, you just might find 

You get what you need, you get what you need 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

No you cant always get, what you want 

But if you try sometimes, you just might find 

You get what you need, you get what you need 

You get what you need, you get what you need
