You Can't Always Get What You Want

By VDub26

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sometimes in life, there is one thing you must have But you can't always get what you want You can want it so much, but it doesn't matter You think you can get it, but you can't It may be the most important thing to you It doesn't care, you're not going to get it You can ponder ways to make it yours But you're just wasting your time It will never be yours, you won't get it Try all you want, it's your time that is lost No matter what, you must realize... You can't always get what you wantI wrote this about a girl who I really loved, but couldn't 'get with,' for lack of a better term. This is some recent stuff for me, as I've moved into a more personal writing style. Written March 4th, 2002 © on Mar 07 2002 06:55 AM PST, Matt Van Wormer   18 • 0 • 1
