You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need - Rolling Stones
There is this certain age in life where you will want something, real bad
At that age you won't understand why, the things that you want would always run away
And at that age, people around you would tell you that god won't always give
you what you want, but you will get what you need
At that age, you'll throw away what you need, and will pursue what you want
There is also another stage in life, where you can GET what you want
But instead of taking for what you can have, you turn to what you need
You realize that you need that something,
and the things that you want doesn't seem all that important
And then there is this phase where you'll want both
This is where you screw up, cos you WANT what you want and what you need
Funny you know, the human desires...
