[As sung by Marilyn Monroe:]

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 tho' 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

[coda:]
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

After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It (19 Lyrics
