You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

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' & braggin',

My poor heart is raggin'



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



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 of my dreams apart

Unless you hurt me and you'd know that i'd cried

It doesn't seem as though you'll ever be satisfied

You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)
