You think you play the leading role
Your wish is command
And if someone doesnīt obey
You think youīre lost in the sand
You always feel insulted
If one doesnīt agree to you
And you think youīre cheated by life
If not all your dreams come true
Hey spoiled child, you are not right
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
Life is not always a dream
You must learn to lose
Highs and lows or a life thatīs not true
Youīre the one to choose
Youīve to learn that there are others, too
For them lifeīs often gray
And at times when youīre down
Think of what I say
Hey spoiled child, you are not right
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
You canīt, you canīt always get what you want
