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`ll get what you need, ...oh yes

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`ll get what you need.
