Waiting for That Day (You Can't Always Get What You Want)
So every day I see you in some other faceThey crack a smile, talk a whileTry to take your placeMy memory serves me far too well
I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myselfYou're a fool boyWhy don't you go downFind somebodyFind somebody elseMy memory serves me far too well
It's not as though we just broke upIt's not as though it was yesterdayBut something I just can't explainSomething in me needs this painI know I'll never see your face again
C'mon nowI've got to be strong now
Now everybody's talking about this new decadeLike you say the magic numbersThen just say goodbye toThe stupid mistakes you madeOh my memory serves me far too well
Don't you know thatThe years will come and goSome of us will change our livesSome of us still have nothing to showNothing babyBut memories
And if these woundsThey are self-inflictedI don't really knowHow my poor heart could have protected meBut if I have to carry this painIf you will not share the blameI deserve to see your face again
C'mon nowYou don't have to be so strong nowCome back
Come back to me darlingI will make it worth your whileCome back to your babyI miss your kissI miss your smileSeems to me the peace I search to findAin't going to be mine until you say you willDon't you keep me waiting for that dayI know, I know, I knowYou hear these words that I say
You can't always get what you wantYou can't always get what you want...
