You Can't Always Get What You Want

(アルバム： Love All The Hurt Away - 1981)

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
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need

I saw him today at the reception
Standing there with a glass in his hand
I knew he would meet his connection
His cancels that all turn and sing

Said you can't always get what you want
No, you can't always get what you want
Said you can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime, you just might find
You get what you need, need, need, you get what you need, yeah

He dressed up, go to the demonstrations
To get his fair share of abuse
He wanted to be an overnight sensation
And if he don't, he's gon' blow a 50 amp fuse, oh-oh-oh

You can't always get what you want, oh yeah
You can't always get what you want, no-no
You know you can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need, get what you need

He goes to the drugstore near the station
Some say to get his prescriptions filled
He's practiced at the art of deception
No one can tell what he really feels, yeah-yeah-yeah

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want, aw-aw-aw
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, say you just might find
You get what you need, need, get what you need, oh 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
You try sometime, you just might find
You get what you need, need

(Overnight sensation) overnight sensation
(Education) education
(There's no relation)
(I need a vacation) I need a vacation
(And we need elation) and we need elation
(With some cooperation)
(And we need the patience, hoo) oh, you

You can't always get what you want (you can't always get what you want, oh no)
You can't always get what you want (get what you want, well, no you can't)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want

It's a feeling, off the ceiling
Get on, get on down now, to the real nitty gritty, yeah-yeah
That bass is pumping (you can't always get what you want)
But you can't get it and you can't get it now (you can't always get what you want)
You know that you can't always get what you want
What you want, what you want
Oh, you, you can't always get what you want, oh yeah, no, no
But do you know? (You can't always get what you want)
Second-best will stand a chance, yes it will, oh, yes it will
