Lyrics
[Verse 1]
After you get what you want, you don't want it
If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
You're always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want
You don't want what you get
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
After you get what you want, you don't want it
If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
You're always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want
You don't want what you get
[PreChorus]
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
[Outro]
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!
