Marilyn Monroe - After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It Lyrics
Artist: Marilyn Monroe
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Adult Contemporary
- Songwriters: Irving Berlin
After you get what you want, you 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 don't want what you get
And though I sit upon your knee you'll grow tired of me 'cause
After you get what you want you don't want what you wanted at all
Changeable, you got a changeable nature
Always, always changing your mind
There's a longing in your eye hard to satisfy
And here's the reason why
''Cause after you get what you want you 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 don't want what you get
And though I sit upon your knee you'll grow tired of me 'cause
After you get what you want you don't want what you wanted at all
Baby, I don't mean to make you blue
But you need a talking to
'Cause after you get what you want
You don't want what you wanted at all, I know you
In the Know
