[Intro: Voce Chamber Choir]
Well I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
No, 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

[Audience Applause]

[Verse 1]
Well I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't (Always get what you want) Go ahead?
You can't (Always get what you want) That's right
But if you try sometime
You'll find
You get what you need
[Verse 2]
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're going to blow a 50-amp fuse," yeah

[Chorus]
You can't always get what you want
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well, you might find
You get what you need
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 3]
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided to have a soda
What's your favorite flavor? Cherry red
I sung my song to my friend Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
And I said
[Chorus]
You can't always get what you want
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well, you might find
You get what you need
Truly

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Mick Jagger & (Audience)]
(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)
But if you try sometimes
Well, you might find
You get what you need
Truly

[Verse 4]
You get what you need, yeah, oh baby
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
C'mon
[Outro]
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, you just might find
You get what you need

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
