Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no satisfaction
[Verse 1]
Oh, when I'm driving in my car
And that man comes on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, no no, no
Hey, hey hey, hey
This is what I say, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no reaction
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, baby
I can't get no, I can't get no satisfaction
[Verse 2]
Oh, when I'm watching my TV, uh, uh
And that girl comes on and tells me
How tight my skirts should be
But she can't tell me who to be, baby
I've got my own identity, uh
I can't get no, no no, no
[Bridge]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I just can't get no
[Chorus]
I can't get no (Ooh yeah)
Satisfaction (No no no)
I can't get no (I can't get no satisfaction)
Satisfaction (Oh)
I can't get no (No, baby)
Satisfaction (This is what I'm saying)
I can't get no (I can't get no)
Satisfaction (I can't get no, no)
I can't get no (I can't, give me)
Satisfaction (I need your satisfaction)
I can't get no (No, baby)
Satisfaction (I can't get no)
(I can't get no) No matter what I do
No matter what I say
(Satisfaction) everywhere I go
They say it's not okay
(I can't get no) no matter what I do
No matter what I say
(Satisfaction) everywhere I go
They say it's not okay
I can't get no, satisfaction (I can't get no satisfaction)
I can't get no, satisfaction (This is what I say)
I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction, baby
