Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

Now, 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

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

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
Well you might find
You get what you need
Oh yeah
All right baby
Yeah

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 fifty amp fuse"
Sing it now

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
Well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yeah
Hey baby
Yeah

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
Sing it now

We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sang my song for Mister Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me
And that was "dead"
I said to him

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
Well you just might find
You get what you need
All right
Yeah

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
I could tell by her bloodstained hands
Sing it now

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
Well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yeah
All right
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
Ah but if you try sometime
You just might find
You just might find uh find
That you get what you need
Oh yeah
All right
Oh baby
