You Cant Always Get What You Want/I Shall Be Released Lyrics

I saw her today at the reception
She had a glass of wine in her hand
She said, “Well, now I have to go meet my connection.”
At her feet was a footloose man

I heard her say
“You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just may find
Surely you will find you get what you need
Oh, don’t you find that you will get what you need?”

They say everything can be replaced
That every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

They say every woman needs protection
Then they turn around and tell you
Every woman’s got to fall
I swear I see my own reflection
Somewhere far beyond this wall

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

Now yonder stands
There in that lonely crowd
A man who swears he is not to blame, no, no
And if you ask him has he ever seen this lonely woman
He’ll tell you, “No, no, no.”
What’s more, he does not know my name!

But I see my light come shining
Shining, shining, shining from the west
Straight on down to the east
Ah-anyday now, any, any old day now
I am going to, I am going to be released, yeah!

They tell ya, tell ya every woman
They tell ya every woman
Got to have protection
Then they turn around and tell ya
“No! We gotta make that-a woman fall!”
Oh, god, I swear! I swear I see
I see my, my very own reflection
Far and away beyond, way, way beyond
These old walls!

That’s right! I see, I see my light, my light
My light is shining, shining, shining
Shining, shining, shining, shining
From the west straight on down to the east
And any day now, do you hear me?
Any day now, I shall be
I am going to be released!

Any day now, any day now, any day now
Any, any day now, oh, any day now
Any day, any day, any day
Any day, any day, any day
Woah, any day, any day, any old day now
Yeah, any day now
I am going to, I shall be released!

Woah, any day now, I shall see again!
Any day now, I shall be free again!
Any day now, they’ll let me be again!
Oh, any day now, any day now, any day now
Whoa, help me, any day, any day
Any old day now
