Lyrics

I saw her today at the reception
She had a glass of wine in her hand
She said, "well, now I have to go meet my connection."
At her feet was a footloose man

I heard her say
"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 may find
Surely you will find you get what you need
Oh, don't you find that you will get what you need?"
