After You Get What You Want (You Don't Want It) [From "There's No Business Like Show Business"] |
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’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, |
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! |
