You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)
Perry Como · Other Songs - Perry Como
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'
The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'
The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart
It doesn't seem fair
(Those little white lies)
But you don't seem to care
(And now I realize)
You won't be satisfied until you've broken my heart
