Video sam je danas na prijemu
Čaša vina u ruci njenoj
Znao sam da će se sa svojim dilerom sresti
Njome očaran bio je neki slobodan čovek

Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ali, ako se potrudiš, ponekad možda shvatiš da
Dobijaš baš ono što ti treba

Otišao sam na demonstracije
da dobijem svoj deo zlostavljanja
Pevajući, “Iskalićemo svoje frustracije
U suprotnom ćemo eksplodirati kao bomba“

Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ali, ako se potrudiš, ponekad možda shvatiš da
Dobijaš baš ono što ti treba

Otišao sam Čelzi dragstora
da ti podignem lekove na recept
Stajao sam u redu sa G-dinom Džimijem
I čoveče, on je izgledao poprilično bolesno
Odlučili smo da naručimo sok
Moj omiljeni ukus, višnja
Pevao sam svoju pesmu g-dinu Džimiju
Da, a on mi je jednu reč rekao, a ona je bila “mrtav”
Rekao sam mu

Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ali, ako se potrudiš, ponekad možda shvatiš da
Dobijaš baš ono što ti treba

Dobijaš ono što ti treba–da, oh dušo

Video sam je danas na prijemu
U njenoj čaši je bio čovek koji je krvario
Ona je bila uvežbana u umetnosti obmane
Pa, to sam video po njenim krvlju umrljanim rukama

Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ali, ako se potrudiš, ponekad možda shvatiš da baš
Možda shvatiš da
Dobijaš baš ono što ti treba

Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ne možeš uvek dobiti ono što želiš
Ali, ako se potrudiš, ponekad možda shvatiš da baš
Možda shvatiš da
Dobijaš baš ono što ti treba

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 sometimes well you might find
You get what you need

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 50-amp fuse”

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

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”
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 sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need

You get what you need–yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

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 just might find
You get what you need

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 just might find
You get what you need
