What you see in me Is a symbol of my youth A promise l can't keep to you I hope you understand That this is just a body And time will take its toll on me Health or disease You never know what you got Might as well live gratefully Sex and desire Take things we'd like to have But without love, it's not the same You can't always get what you want And you can't always know what you want You can't always get what you want And you can't always know what you want Badia-badu-adi-badia-ba-ah Badia-badu-adi-badia-ba-ah Badia-badu-adi-badia-ba-ah Badia-badu-adia-ah One can only hope That beauty lies ahead And to see it without judgment or fear Yeah, when it all goes wrong I hope I have the courage I hope I have it inside of me You can't always get what you want And you can't always know what you want You can't always get what you want And you can't always know what you want Badia-badia-badi-badia-ba-ah Badia-badu-adi-badia-ba-ah Badia-badu-adi-badia-ba-ah Badia-badu-badia-aah
