Waiting For That Day (You Can't Always Get What You Want)

So everyday I see you in some other face,
They crack a smile and talk awhile and try to take your place.

My memory serves me far too well.

I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself,
You're a fool, Boy!
Why don't you go down find somebody and find somebody else?

My memory serves me far too well.

It's not as though we just broke up,
It's not as though it was yesterday,
But something I just can't explain,
Something in me needs this pain,
I know I'll never see your face again.

I've got to be strong now.

Now everybody's talking about this new decade,
Like when you say the "Magic Numbers",
Then just say goodbye to the stupid mistakes you made.

My memory serves me far too well.

And don't you know that the years will come and go,
Some us will change our lives,
Some us will still have nothing to show nothing but memories.

And if these wounds they are self-inflicted,
I don't really know how my poor heart could've protected me,
But if I have to carry this pain,
If you will not share the blame,
I deserve to see your face again.

You don't have to be so strong now.

Come back,
Come back,
Come back,
Come back.

Come back to me Darling,
I will make it worth your while,
Come back to your Baby,
I miss your kiss,
I miss your smile.

Seems to me the peace I search to find here,
Ain't gonna be mine until you say you will,
Don't you keep me waiting for that day.

I know,
I know,
I know you hear these words that I say.

I know,
I know,
I know,
I know.

You can't always get what you want,
And you can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want.
