After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It

After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It - Marilyn Monroe

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

That 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 those I sit upon in your knee

Hey

You'll grow tired of me

'Cause after you get what you want

You don't want what you wanted at all

Changeable

You've 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 want 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
