AFTER YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT (YOU DON'T WANT IT) 4/4 1...2...1234-Irving Berlin

Intro: | | | | | | | | |

Listen to me, honey dear, something's wrong with you, I fear

It's getting harder to please you, harder and harder each year

I don't want to make you blue, but you need a talking to

Like a lot of people I know, here's what's wrong with you

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 discon-tented

p.2. After You Get What You Want

You're al-ways 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.

Don't you say that I'm un-kind, think it over and you'll find

You've got a changeable nature, you're always changing your mind

There's a longing in your eye, that is hard to satis-fy

You're unhappy most of the time, here's the reason why

After you get what you want, you don't want it

If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon.

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.
