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
Two 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
