After you get what you want you dont want it
par 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.
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!
