I met a man all dressed in white

While walking down life's road

He was one of four 

Who would not share his heavy load

Now Lennon is a superstar 

Why did his planets die?

If mass equals velocity 

He should be flying high 

You don't always get what you want, babe

You don't always get what you want, babe

You don't always get what you want

When you want it, you can't get it 



I met a man all dressed in black 

While walking down life's road

He was one of five 

One who cannot share his heavy load

Now Jagger is a superstar 

Why did his planets die?

If mass equals velocity 

He should be flying high 



You don't always get what you want, babe

You don't always get what you want, babe

You don't always get what you want

And when you want it, you can't get it 



I looked around upon that road

But I was all alone

The stars were bright above my head

But slowly changed their form

Now comets come and comets go

Defeated in the end

While stages light with spotlights bright

Another star ascends 



You don't always get what you want, babe

You don't always get what you want, babe

You don't always get what you want

And when you want it, you can't get it
