(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction Lyrics

[Chorus]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try
I tell ya, I try
Believe me, I try
I sure enough try
But I can't get no
I can't get no
No

[Verse 1]
When I'm driving in my car
And a man comes on the radio
Telling me more and more
About some useless information
That's supposed to power my imagination
I can't get no
Oh, no-no-no
Hey, what I say, yeah
Aw, baby, that's what I say
Yes, it is
Hey-hey-hey
Aw, baby, baby, that's what I say
Yes, it is, oh oh
Sure enough
I tell you that
[Chorus]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try
I tell you I try
Did you hear me, I try
And I try, and I try, and I try, try, try
I can't get no
Oh, oh, I can't get no, no, baby

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't know what I can do
When I just can't do no more
Each thing new and different I try
Seems to turn out to be one big bore

[Outro]
I can't get no
Oh, no-no-no
Hey, yeah-yay-hey
Oh, baby, that's what I say
Said I'm fed up
Hey-yeah-yeah
Oh, that's what I say
Yes, it is
I can't get me no satisfaction
All I need is some social reaction
Yeah, yeah
Ohh-ah-yeah
Hey, I can't get no satisfaction
I need social reaction
Yeah-yay
Ohh-ah-yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
