I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction 

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try 

I can't get no, I can't get no 



When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio 

He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information 

Supposed to fire my imagination 



I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey 

That's what I say 

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction 

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try 

I can't get no, I can't get no 



When I'm watchin' my TV and a man comes on and tell me 

How white my shirts can be 

But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke 

The same cigarettes as me 



I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey 

That's what I say 

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction 

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try 

I can't get no, I can't get no 



When I'm ridin' round the world, and I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that 

And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me 

Baby, better come back maybe next week 

'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak 

I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey 

That's what I say. I can't get no, I can't get no 

I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction 

No satisfaction, no satisfaction

Well, I'm waitin' at the bus stop in downtown L.A. 

Well, I'm waitin' at the bus stop in downtown L.A. 

But I'd much rather be on a boardwalk on Broadway 

Well, I'm sittin' here thinkin' just how sharp I am 

Well, I'm sittin' here thinkin' just how sharp I am 

I'm an under assistant West Coast Promo man 

Well I promo groups when they come into town 

Well I promo group when they come into town 

Well they laugh at my toupee, they're sure to put me down 

Well, I'm sittin' here thinkin' just how sharp I am

Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes 

And the chauffeur drives your car 

You let everybody know 

But don't plat with me, 'cause you're playing with fire 



Your mother she's a heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood 

And your father'd be there with her 

If he only could 

But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire 



Your old man took her diamonds and tiaras by the score 

Now she gets her kicks in Stepney 

Not in Knightsbridge anymore 

So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire 



Now you've got some diamonds and you will have some others 

But you'd better watch your step, girl 

Or start living with your mother 

So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire 

So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Sittin' thinkin' sinkin' drinkin' 

Wond'ring what I'd do when I'm thru tonight 

Smoking, moping, maybe just hopin' 

Some little girl will pass on by 

Don't wanna be alone but I love my girl at home 

I remember what she said 

She said "My, my, my don't tell lies. Keep fidelity in your head 

My, my, my, don't tell lies. When you're done you should go to bed 

Don't say Hi, like a spider to a fly 

Jump right ahead and you're dead" 



Sit up, fed up, low down, go 'round 

Down at the bar at the place I'm at 

Sitting, drinking, superfic'ly thinking 

About the rinsed out blonde on my left 

Then I said "Hi" like a spider to a fly 

Remembering what my little girl said 

She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty 

I would have run away but I was on my own 

She told me later, she's a machine operator 

She said she liked the way I held the microphone 

I said "My, my" like the spider to a fly 

"Jump right ahead in my web"

You need some money in a hurry 

But things ain't right 

You try to beg and borrow maybe start a fight 

Your friends don't wanna know you they just pass you by 

So they couldn't be your friends because they wouldn't lie 



Sit down shut up don't dare to cry 

Things will get better if you really try 

So don't ya panic don't ya panic 

Give it one more try 

Don't ya panic don't ya panic 

Give it one more try 



You gotta girl that doesn't bring you all she cries 

The day turns into night to try to satisfy 

You give her all the things she want she don't improve 

You think you'd give her up and she'd maybe move 



Sit down shut up don't dare to cry 

Things will get better if you really try 

So don't ya panic don't ya panic 

Give it one more try 

Don't ya panic don't ya panic 

Give it one more try 



The things that don't matter easy come and go 

And the things that satisfy only come real slow 

You gotta know and watch it all in your mind 

'Cause it's better when you get it if you really try 



Sit down shut up don't dare to cry 

Things will get better if you really try 

So don't ya panic don't ya panic 

Give it one more try 

Don't ya panic don't ya panic 

Give it one more try 



Keep on trying 

Keep on trying 

Keep on trying 

Keep on trying 

Keep on trying, you gotta keep trying
