A glass of wine in her h and
I knew she would meet her conn ection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you w ant
And if you try sometime, you might find
You get what you need ahhhhhh ah y eah

At her feet was her footloose m an

To get your prescription f illed

In her glass was a bleed ing man
Sh e was practiced at the art of deception
We ll I could tell by her blood-st ained hands
