Lyrics:
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 foot-loose 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
Oh, yeah
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singin’ “We’re gonna vent our frustration
If we don’t, we’re gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse
Sing it to me now
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 Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standin’ in line with Mr. Jimmy
A-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 might find,
You get what you need
I was 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.
Say it!
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

…, but if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need.
Big difference between wants and needs. Knowing the difference is the key.
This is one of the all time greatest rock and roll songs. IMHO
In my humble opinion as a 78 year old male this was the best Stones song ever
This is a good song, until I seen the lipstick wearing fool.
I agree sir.
Haha, it’s a beauty. So many good ones from these guys, what a joy.
I'm 55 grew up on stones. Have every vinyl. Been blessed to see them 9 time. Still my fav stones song & wild horses❤
Absolutely ! Young man !
My dad would always sing me this song back in the 90s whenever I would ask for something but we were very poor which used to make me hate this song. But now that he’s gone I will forever love this song as a way to remember him
I used to sing the chorus to my oldest son when he was growing up as well....It fits so many situations :-)
@@edsherrod5216 god bless you brother
Our dad done exactly the same.
Love this song as if life as I'm going to get buried to this tune love stones 👍
I always did this to my daughter when she was too because we also could not afford much. I'm actually here to get the link and send it to her since she is now an adult and id love for her to listen to the entire song. 😆 hopefully I didn't traumatize her too much with it. I didnt expect to see other parents or even children of parents that did this when I came here. Its wild. I'm glad you were able to listen now and have a positive memory of your father. Take care
A thousand years from now, we will be flying through space, and someone somewhere out there in the cosmos will be playing this song.
This was the first song that played on the radio when I bought my first car. I will never forget it
What year was it and what car?
@@rogerc23 He wanted a Dodge Charger 25 mpg got a Prius hibrid 50 mpg...
Hahaha good one @Henrique Brunialti
thats so fucking sick ahahha
you never forget your first
I’m here at 2:15pm and this song just hit me during the hardest times. My father just passed away due to the coronavirus. As he was fighting for his life for 2 weeks straight and a bunch of prayers. He passed away without having to say one last word to his kids. This song hits because you can’t always get what you want in life, but if you try and keep moving forward you can find light at the end of the tunnel..
Sorry for your loss. Stay strong, music is a great friend in times of need.
Sorry about your dad.
May he rest, I'm sure he was a wonderful man, I send my condolences to you and your family.
Stanley Rafael, sorry for your loss. 😢
I'm so sorry to hear that sad news
My wife and I put our 2 1/2 year old twin girls down for a nap a few months ago. One refused to sleep, so I brought her downstairs. She loves music, so I asked our music device to play classic rock. My daughter started playing in a little tent castle my wife set up for her in our living room. We have been taking her to a speech therapist for some months because she has been having difficulty verbalizing like our other twin daughter. So there I was, sitting on the couch thinking, and worrying, and worrying about my daughter - and wishing she would verbalize more. At that moment, the Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” started playing. My daughter poked her head out of the tent, and she just looked at me … and she smiled. And I realize, she is just perfect the way she is, and she will learn to speak more in her own time. I am so lucky to have my children. “You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need, ah yeah.” So true. Count your blessings.
Best Wishes to your family !
@mikebrown1485 --- that's a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing that. I am a retired preschool teacher, and your daughter will eventually verbalize when she reaches that developmental stage, or I should say her stage of development, in her time....I used to sing this song to my preschool class whenever they were fighting over not getting exactly what they wanted when they wanted it, and in just a few months, my entire class knew the words. In November one year, at parent teacher conferences, one of my parents said his son was singing it at home by himself and he laughed and asked him where he learned it, and his son said ms. mckinnie taught it to me and he said he started cracking up laughing.... Music makes a huge difference in everyone's lives and it's a great way to teach kids patterns and also math, as music is essentially mathematical in structure and design... Take care 🌹✨💜
Moments like that right
Thanks for taking the time to share such a heartwarming experience and insight. Infinite blessings to you and your family 💞
My boy was a late talker. He vocabulary was less than a 1/3 of his age group. His speech therapist told me 3 yrs was the magic number. “When he wants to start, the floodgates will open.” Three yrs and 4 weeks later, the floodgates opened and 17 yrs later, I’d be okay with a little silence 😉. Good things come to those who patiently wait. She’s going to thrive with the love you obviously provide. ❤
Never able to hear this song without thinking of House MD anymore… great song.
Better "the big chill"... you know fella?
Right? Also the "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think" song. House just comes to mind.
yep
Also Baba o Riley
Should of ended the series with it
"The philosopher Jagger once said, you can't always get what you want"
Dang! That show is over like 9 years ago and I still can hear House saying that line everytime i listen to this song.
"I looked up that philosopher, and it turns out, if you try sometimes you'll get what you need."

This isn't Charlie...
@@captainfeedback1yes your right charlie was away ,jimmy miller played on the one track the studio version ,this one ,but charlie played this thousands of time on live concerts.
@@josehborba3004 yes, of course he did but you're missing my point aren't you... Paying your respects to Charlie Watts on a recording he's not actually on is a bit dim, no?
@@captainfeedback1 ok i get your point .
My childhood friend, Karen L. Anderson passed away on April 23, 2023. This song resonates with me because we both struggled with getting what we wanted, and I don't think it's possible on this earth. See you in heaven girl, our real home without all the heartaches. Until we meet again, Karen, I will miss you with all of my 10 year old heart. Love you, Shelley
Are you ten years old, if not I am confused?
@@nigelpetrie4360 No, we met when we were 10 years old. That was in 1967. You don't have to understand, the message wasn't meant for you.

Guess it's time for me to binge the stones again. Thanks for the great songs Charlie. R.I.P.
Exactly what I'm doing while shedding a few tears for such a devastating loss. Condolences to his family and friends which number in the millions.
Same
Charlie's not on this one...
@@captainfeedback1 what dose that matter?
@@wabbajedda Because people are praising Charlie Watts' drumming on a song he didn't actually play on. .. I think that DOES matter. Pick a song that he's on.
4:28 that's the most unique screem I've ever heard. Holly molly, I'm amazed.
Mick's philosophy, you can't always get what you want. That's a true statement for most people. But,for Mick he always gets what he wants, he also finds that he gets what he needs.
Probably one of the greatest rock & roll songs ever written.
Behind stairyway to heaven but yes, up there.
And Bohemian Rhapsody
@@opiumthoughts stairway to heaven is overrated in my opinion.
@@messygamez5675 YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
@@opiumthoughts I mean it is but that doesn’t mean it isn’t t a great song
Thank you Mister Watts. Vaya con dios sir. 😔
Winter Break 1969 we played album after album. I lost count of how many times we put the Let It Bleed album on. It was new to all of us and just fantastic. This was the closing track and worked perfectly that way.
As philosopher mick jagger once said you can’t always get what you want
Cheers!
But if you try sometime, you get what you need.
- Dr House
This song has been played so many times for so many reasons all so valid...I'll simply say...it's about life.
Take it easy. Enjoy the ride.
After (or before) this, play the "Ruby Tuesday" Official Lyric Video, they go together well.
Enjoy the ride but hold on tight cause it’s one hell of a roller coaster. Good thing I like roller coasters ❤️❤️❤️🦋
Especially on TV shows like House. Where it was played often.
One of the best songs ever written..
Especially for now..
Love you Stones..
Rest in Peace Charlie!!!

Heart Breaker
This is the Stones’ best song. Without it, there would be no argument that the Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time. With this song, the Beatles still win, but at least there’s an argument about it 😊.
My son had yet another heartache today, and there's literally zero I can do, except send him this song. It is what it is, man. Nobody said it wouldn't hurt. Honestly I wish it didn't. But life is unfair and full of pain and sorrow and the only thing we can do is make sure those don't turn into regrets, so we can put them down and move on.
your writing is so comforting in a way and understanding rather than trying to brush it off. I could only hope I am able to comfort others around me to this level.
@@shengwu9077 thank you, this must be just about one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me, it is very much appreciated
Beautifully said
Hard to see them suffer
Very well said!!!
Using the choir was a stroke of genius. And then the segue to the acoustic guitar and Mick's vocals is perfection. Totally a 'Stones thing to do.
And the French Horn
Indeed! Their music is considered by a lot of people to be more simplistic but I think a lot of it ranks right up there with the Beatles for creativity. Exile on Main Street!
@@gamehengeful I have to disagree on Exile. I thought their peak was Sticky and Let It Bleed. Exile was a huge step down. I saw the concert, and the Exile songs all sounded alike and nowhere near as good as the rest of the concert. I never bought the album. And I was never able to listen to "Angie."
Facts, shit gave me chills.
When the Stones were jamming they were great. Too bad they didn't do more rock "opera" as they were exceptional at it.
I've been single for so long, wanting love has been one of my greatest wants, but every time I try, they always leave me. I made the conscience decision awhile ago to stop trying and accept that in life, we cant always get what we want. Accepting it has made me feel better, its hard and sometimes painful, but I'll live. Thank you stones, reminding me that its okay to feel like this
A good book to read Celestean Phophacy 👍
I feel you. Me too.
Don’t stop. Keep looking.
It’s worth it I promise.
Yeah man, same here. Feel you completely. I'm 48 and I'm finally coming to terms that, despite me being a really good person, love and togetherness is something I'll never have. As you said, it hurts, sometimes more than most, but facing the music is the way forward. Maybe not happy, not as much as I would have been, definitely not complete or fulfilled, but alive and learning and trying to improve and better myself every day.
That's real blues, dude. You're living it, good or bad. Bless you!
Is there a band, singer, songwriter nowadays, who could write anything remotely as good as this? Lyrics,harmonies,drums,guitars, I can't think of anyone alive who would even come close.
No, there isn't, and never will be again. From here to our end iot's going to be nothing but ultrasonic female vocalists that cause headaches.
I saw them perform this (and Gimme Shelter) in 1972. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. The joints went around the room clockwise.
No, non ci saranno.
One of the truest songs that the Stones ever put out, it is true "You can't always get what You want."
I always hear something new in this song and I've heard it a hundred times. That's what is called timeless. Ladies and Gentlemen...The Rolling Stones.
T I M E L E S S ... true😀
Yeah... For the longest time I thought someone got a glass of wine poured on their head out of jealousy...
Keep listening, Ive heard it thousands of times over the years. Hell, ive seen it live maybe 45 times (I've seen the Stones 60 times) This is a song that will live on long before me and you die, and I'm closer to that shit than you
The Stones were the best band in my 75 yrs of history. As long as I continue to live, they will always have a special place in my heart and mind. Nobody ever rocked like the Stones! RIP Jimmy. You were a light.
May you live to be 100 and more and listen to great music everyday.
Ha, Helter Skelter. The Stone's were/are more of a pop-rock band than a true Rock Band. The Beatles, rocked harder.
@@ericlindsey3069 calm down
@@ericlindsey3069 Love the Beatles and I’ll admit they’re the better band, but the stones rocked harder
@@ericlindsey3069 the beatles did not fucking rock harder than the stones. That's absurd.
Krijgen wat we nodig hebben, niet wat we willen, dat is het juiste ❤❤❤
"you can't always get what you want
but if you TRY you find what you need"
Via only two lyrics, The Rolling Stones give an awesome life lesson!!
Growing up in the 1970's,
my Father always said he wanted this song played at his funeral. When he saw the film:
THE BIG CHILL in 1983, he cried. The film opens at a Funeral-- set to this ROLLING STONES' CLASSIC SONG.
This song is iconic.

Maybe your dad!!!! Not always getting what you want is a lesson your father should teach....Moms don't even believe it, totatty incapable of teaching such a lesson...only thing moms teach nowdays is how to shop and how to get someone else to pay the bill for it...all they are capable of....have a nice day.

I just watched that episode and it brought me to listen to this beautiful song
Happy 79th birthday Mick Jagger!
It's the philosopher Jagger with his favorite truth.
This song kills me, Instant tears... sometimes we make our loved ones go away, and when you try to get them back, to "fix" all the irrational mistakes you made, you will find... that you cannot get what you want, not always... sometimes its over, and its your fault, and you gotta live with that for the rest of your life... wonderful song.
Damn I am in the same position. Made a stupid decision and my best friend left me. Been trying to get her back for 2 months now but I guess it's time to let her go.
Hell yes...so many mistakes. Still alive and wondering what could have been different my friend. Maybe it was always meant to be
My one whish right now is that I didn't relate to this on such a personal level
Tears for me as well
Day late and a dollar short!
So many intricate layers to the song, each one a delight to follow. What a rock masterpiece
One of the best songs of all time, no doubt, it's just a masterpiece

Who is here because they cant get what they want?
She wasted my time, had me believing we had something. Then I found out my brother and her were talking, so she let me go for him just to find he denied her as well; so she went running back to me like it was nothing... Hardest moment of my life.

This song reminds me of my teacher who I loved

R.I.P. Brian Jones and Charlie Watts 😭😭😭😭😭
So upset Charlie Watts passed away yesterday. He was 80, cannot really believe any of the stones have or will make it to 80 years. RIP Charlie! You were one of the best drummers.

There is Brown Sugar, Beast of Burden, Paint it black, Start me up, Sympathy for the Devil or Tumblin Dice...but nothing beats this masterpiece. For me personally this is the definition of the Stones. But that's debatable haha.
I just love it.

Always remember as my dads casket was disappearing thru the wall this was playing full ball! As my dad & the song used to always say ....’ Son ,U can’t Always Get What U want’.....& that is so true .
Love U dad ,U were the best a boy could hope for .
RIP 😎
Happy your Dad came into this world!
Now there was a MAN. God Bless you and your Dad, you were lucky to have him for a Father. Peace Friend, Stay Safe.
Chip Musick , Rob Notter thank U both for your kind comments .He was a top shelf father to me & I couldn’t have asked for a better dad .His death so young was so unexpected & I wish he could of had a longer life & I had more times with him but as this classic song says ‘U can’t always get what U want ‘ .Again thanks for your kind comments fellas .Peace out 🙂
This made me tear up being a great father is the best
@@Astroone92 I agree!!
This is the most weirdly positive song coming from The Rolling Stones. And I like it.
Truer than many people realize.
Life is full of painful events, and it sometimes makes you feel like
you can't get over these things like complete darkness.
But, As We don't get the feeling of beauty through the good events,
life itself is valuable from our imperfection, which is like the way that
We can find out how marvelous the light becomes through the dark.
You are so true. The stones are doing a tour in St. Louis on the 26th of September this year. Charlie( drummer) won't be there for the 1st time since 1969, but is 80 and recovering from emergency surgery. Then Charlotte, etc.
I'm from Missouri and would love to go, but later they'll be in Nashville as well and that's closer to Kentucky, where I moved to.
Love The Stones. 💜
When I saw 'em live back in '81, there were 65,000 people singing along to this song. Beautiful moment I'll never 4get.
As a young kid, the meaning behind this song made a big impression on me. Even now, the lyrics keep my life on track.
I love singing this to my kids when they don't get their way
Professors should sing that to their students.
You’re a good dad
I love singing this to my wife when shey don't get her way 😇
That's exactly why I'm here right now! 😆
Awesome
The whole track is incredible but the section from 4:18 where the choir comes in and holds that note... it sends shivers down me every time. It's marvellous! :D
That's my favorite part.
I just keep hearing hearing hearing it but can never get bored . Probably the greatest ever portion of a rock song for me
Meeee too.
Gives me chills every time.
They don’t make backing vocals like that anymore and I would love to be in a choir doing the backing vocals for this song
Say it again! One of the best songs ever written. Almost brings a tear to my eye because my kids these days have no idea.
im like 14 and i love rolling stones
so i do
Maybe some kids these days don’t know what they’re missing with the Rolling Stones, but maybe you don’t know what you’re missing with stuff that kids these days like.

"You can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you may just find you get what you need" 👌
✌️😎
I wonder if an artist in 2020 could convince his producers to let him open a song with a choir and a french horn solo. Especially if you were a blues-rock band. Tremendous creativity. Bring back the sixties!
100% The scope, the depth, the breadth, the creativity is breathtaking. Makes today's no-talent, crotch grabbing one-note wonders look pathetic.
No because they care about the bottom line, never take any chances and have zero artistic integrity, music is a joke now
... and let said producer play drums.
Liam Gallagher brought it back last Friday.
The first song on his new album 'c'mon you know' is basically his version of 'you can't always get what you want'.
This song sums up life in a NUTSHELL!!!! I came here becasue I went to order some flowers for Mothers Day and they didnt have the ones I wanted.
Descansa en paz Charlie Wats...
Hey Jo sorry 😞been having to speak easy 2sacredSpace
The first verse hits a lot harder when you’re heartbroken
Yes you're right
This comment made me feel heartbroken
Heartbroken about drugs
True.
Always heartbroken. Love this song.
The Stones and the London Philharmonic orchestra who would have thought it. Love this song especially the vocals!!
Yup, this is one of the top 5 best rock songs ever composed
Just had an emotional meltdown... this song helps a lot. Thank you
That’s right, we can’t always get what we want but if we try sometimes, we might find, we get what we need. Great song by The Rolling Stones🎧
Greatest outro ever recorded
Great comment.

For some inexplicable reason, this song ALWAYS reminds me of an elusive girlfriend from decades past. I met Mary back in the early 90s while living just outside Washington DC. We were both young, up-and-coming professionals of promise in our respective fields. Mary was a lithesome, brilliant, free-lance journalist with contributions in US News & World Report and other highly-regarded, syndicated print publications. Winsome, slender, perceptive, and with legs up to her neck and piercing blue-eyes that perceived much and missed little, Mary was the kind of woman all men sought, as did I. But Mary had another agenda, one that didn't include love, marriage and all the things that modern women (as they always have) considered impediments to a successful career. Mary rejected my romantic overtures, but was tactful enough to do so in such a way as to remain a close friend and confident. I didn't mind since I knew the sea was full of fish, and female companionship, so I was content to be her back-up when she needed a date somewhere with someone who wouldn't try get into her shorts at the end of the evening. Together we had many splendid outings, from parties at Embassy's and the World Bank to steeple chases in the Virginia country side. Indeed, even when I attend those events now, I still half expect to see her there, with her long blonde hair flowing, glittering in the iridescent sun, surrounded by admirers. And I have to say, in that capacity as a friend, we had tremendous fun. No relationship complications, no fights, we were pretty much like brother and sister (in fact, we both introduced the other to people as just that). In the end, I finally met the woman of my dreams, to whom I've been married for some 23 years now. But I still hold dear those memories of Mary, of what was and what might have been. There's not a street corner or sidewalk in Georgetown or Old Town, Alexandria that doesn't evoke memories of our time together. Sadly, Mary passed away a few years back of cancer. It came as a shock as I had spoken to her only a couple weeks before her passing and she sounded as strong and vibrant as ever. The funny thing is, after her passing, one of her friends confided that Mary had always adored me. I miss her every day, or perhaps it was the magic of our youth that I miss now and of lives free from consequences, but at any rate, Mary was the one thing in life that I wanted but couldn't get, but in exchange, I got what I needed. Thanks, Mary...and now through the past, darkly, she comes. :-)
This was beautiful. Thanks
That was wonderful to read. I never read loooong comments, but I remained riveted to this one to the end. It's a bittersweet ending . I felt like I was listening to a close friend tell me the story. You must be a writer too ?
You wanted Mary at the time, but instead you got want you needed, your amazing wife. Rest in peace to Mary.
Beautiful.. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure everyone has one person from their youth that we look back on and think.. What if..
Unusually long to keep my interest, tried not to read its entirety twice, but here I am sending you the warmest of wishes,and a new look on life.
Thank you
Still sounds so f***ing great!!!!!!
It sure does. Better!! 😊😉😀
Croke park brilliant
Stuck on the Cross Bronx Expressway.. this song comes on …. I MISS my dad 😢
😢 he will be at the gate for sure to greet you ❤
Brian Jones's contributions to the band's sound were dwindling away by this time. Years of undeserved Establishment persecution had ground this sensitive man into the dirt. Paradoxically, this grim period found the Stones at their sonic and lyrical peak, as in this epic masterpiece.
Rest In Peace 🕯️You did well 💌

Rolling Stones started their career singing "You can make it if you try" and, decades later, I see them singing "You can't always get what you want". That's life.
This song just ripped me to pieces, can't stop the tears. What the hell
Wow!!. Always thought it was a Hopeful and Inspiring song. Never give up type of I’m gonna make it Song 🤨
@@brianjohnson8315 it transported me to an amazing time with amazing people in my life and the memory was so vivid, I got overwhelmed by the pain from their absence.
Jeez, this thing is so good. It turns my day upside down. Every. Single. Time.
Never thought of this song being used in a memorial service until yesterday and it fit perfectly the person's life......also he was another Vietnam brother.
Man I was sitting here just listening to the stones listen to 35 songs and there wasn't one bad one
Timeless masterpiece
Thanks Dad

Masterpiece, one of my favourite The Rolling Stones songs
I saw her Today at the Reception….And the rest is history 👏
This was the favorite song of someone really close to me that passed on recently. He was like a second father to me. He used to have this song play on his answering machine back in the day. We hadn't spoke in long time. He overdosed and the people he was with dumped him out the car in a parking lot and never called for help. Wish he could've gotten clean
One of my favorite songs from The Rolling Stones.
I came here because I JUST SANG the chorus to my youngest boy when he wasn’t going to get what he wanted. The video brought the point home even better!
Great song all around!!!⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️🏈🏈🏈🏉🏐🏀
This one of the best songs I have ever listened to. Rolling Stones always give me chills when I listen to them
I’m here to say that after really trying, I got what I needed-and now, I am so grateful I didn’t get what I wanted. Life could not be better.
Rest In Peace Charlie Watts you always be I’m our hearts and like you always want 😭
