(m. crenshaw, t. teeley)      Now you can't always get what you want   No, you can't always get what you need   Sometimes you lose what you thought you had   Now that's a real bad deal indeed   But when you're angry at life itself   Having a bad, bad day   Don't judge yourself so brutally   I can't stand it when you talk that way   Oh baby, baby   Better back off of that stuff   You'd better take it slow   I know you know   That you're talking about someone I love   Did you say what I think I heard?    Did you mean what I think you said?    Why don't you redirect your rage   Onto someone else instead   Now, we all have to walk that line   Between sorrow and happiness   Come over here and take my hand   Won't you please give us both a rest?    Oh baby, baby   Better back off that stuff   You'd better take it slow   I know you know   That you're talking about someone I love   Oh baby, baby   I've heard enough   'cause I know you will come through   And you know it too   You're talking about someone I love
