Lyrics
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
Danger boy, 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 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
