You Can’t Always Get What You Want Melissa Etheridge

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine was in her hand
She was waiting to make her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

And I said
You can't always get what you want
Yes I know, you can't always get what you want
I tell you something you can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you just might find
You get what you need
You get what you need

Well I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore
To get my, my prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And I said well the guy did look pretty ill
We decided, we decided to get a soda
I tell you my favorite flavor cherry red
I turned to look, Mr. Jimmy, he said one thing
He said one thing and that was this

He said girl
You know 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 just might find
You get what you need
You get what you need
