After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It | |
Irving Berlin, 1920
| Listen to me, honey dear Something's wrong with you I fear It's getting harder to please you Harder and harder each year I don't want to make you blue But you need a talking to! Like alot of people I know, Here's what's wrong with you: Chorus: After you get what you want Yyou don't want it, If I gave you the moon, You'd grow tired of it soon. You're like a baby, You want what you want when you want it, But after you are presented With what you want you're discontented. You're always wishing and wanting for something, When you get what you want, You want what you don't get. And though you sit upon my knee, You'll grow tired of me, 'Cause after you get what you want You don't want what you wanted at all! |
