You Can’t Always Get What You Want Lyrics by Anna Akana

2021

[Verse 1]
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 her footloose man
[Chorus]
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 find find
You might find what you need
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
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse"
[Chorus]
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 just might find
You get what you need, oh 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 that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy, yeah
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
And I said to him
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want (yeah)
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
