(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction Lyrics

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try and I try, I tell you I tried, and I tried and I tried, tried, tried
I can't get no, yeah, I can't get no, oh, oh

When I'm drivin' in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
It's supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no

Hey hey hey
Oh, baby that's what I say, yes it is baby
Oh baby, baby, that's what I say, yes it is oh

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try, I tell you I tried, did you hear me I tried
And I tried, and I tried, tried, tried
I can't get no, I can't get no, no, oh

When I've done all I can do
And I just can't, just can't do no more
Each thing new and different I try
Seems to turn out to be one big bore

I can't get no oh, no, no, no
Hey hey hey, oh, baby, that's what I say
Yes it is
Hey, hey, hey, oh, baby, that's what I say
Yes it is
I can't get no satisfaction
All I need is some soulful reaction
I can't get no, I can't get no, I can't get no

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
