"you Cant Always Get What You Want"
We want what we want
We need what we need
Confusing the two
We beg on our knees
We have what we have
We are who we are
Holding out your hand
Only takes you so far
Pleading and hoping
Holding whats never to be
Clinging and wishing
clouded with desire, we cant see
Our blessings and beauties
fall back seat
To our hopeless longings
All we think we need
But I still know
Perhaps you dont
That we cant always get
What we want
