After You Get What You Want (You Don't Want It)

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 wanna make you blue
But you need a talking to
Like a lot of people I know
Here's what's wrong with you

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

Don't you say that I'm unkind
Think it over and you'll find
You've got a changeable nature
You're always changing your mind

There's a longing in your eye
That is hard to satisfy
You're unhappy most of the time
Here's the reason why

After you get what you want
You don't want it
If I gave you the moon
You'd grow tired of it soon

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
