Melissa Etheridge - You Can't Always Get What You Want lyrics

I saw her today at the reception A gla** 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 I think I need a change of scene Cause every night I have the strangest dream An illusion 'bout the way it could've been Left here alone so it seems, it seems like I've got to leave Before I start to scream Cause you know it feels like somebody's locked the door and stole the key Well are you feeling alright? Oh girl I'm not feeling too good myself No oh oh tell me woman Are you feeling alright now? Cause you see, you see me I'm not feeling too good myself No no no no and I'll tell you why Cause I saw her today at the reception In her gla** was a bleeding man You know she's practiced at the art of deception I can tell by her blood-stained hands I said You can't always get what you want Oh no you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want Listen to me But if you try sometime sometime you just might find You get what you need yeah I'm getting I'm getting what I need Everytime Oh you get what you need
