HEARD THE WORDS FROM HER SOFT VOICE WHISPER YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,
THEN THE IMAGE OF HER BODY I WATCHED WALK OUT THE DOOR IN THE FRONT,

ECHOING FOR WEEKS NOW IN MY MIND ARE THE VERY WORDS THAT SHE SAID TO ME THAT FATEFUL NIGHT,
ALWAYS WORDS THAT I CAN SEE VIVIDLY AND HOPELESSLY CONSTANTLY I RECITE,

I WISH I WOULD HAVE ASKED YOU TO BE MY WIFE, 

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

I WISH WE WOULD HAVE MET SO MUCH EARLIER IN LIFE, 

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, 

TO BE YOUR HUSBAND, RIGHT BESIDE YOU EVERY NIGHT, 

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, 

I WANT TO BE HELD PLEASE HOLD ME TIGHT,

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

PLEASE LORD LET ME MAKE IT HEARTACHE FREE THROUGH TONIGHT,

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

CAN YOU MAKE LOVE TO ME JUST ONE MORE TIME?

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE THIS RIGHT?

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

WITH YOU IS WHOM I’D LIKE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE!

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

PLEASE LET ME TAKE OUR LOVE TO NEWER HEIGHTS,

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

NO MORE FUSSIN’ NO MORE FIGHTS, 

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, 

JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE WHAT WAS MEANT FOR ME NOW NO LONGER IN SITE, 

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, 

A CHANCE TO BELIEVE IN YOU AND NOT ALL THESE VISIONS THAT CRUSH MY SOUL AND CREATE THESE SLEEPLESS LONELY NIGHTS, 

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, 

IS THERE ANY LET UP AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL – WE CALL THAT LIGHT, 

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, 

HAS YOUR LOVE ALREADY TAKEN OFF?  HAS IT ALREADY TAKEN FLIGHT?

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, 

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME, MAKE ME BELIEVE IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT,

YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,

SO I’VE LEARNED

– SUCH IS LIFE.
