After You Get What You Wa

(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
'Cuz after you get what you want
you don't want what you wanted at all.

Changeable,
you 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...

'Cuz 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,
you don't want what you get.
And though I sit upon your knee,
you'll get tired of me.
'Cuz 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
'Cuz after you get what you want,
you don't want what you wanted at all.
I know you.
