You Can't Always Get What You Want, lyric by Bette Midler

from the songs album Divine Madness

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?"
