Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with love and 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
Oh, you won't be satisfied until you break my heart
No, you won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with love and kisses, baby
All I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'
The way you toss my heart around's, is 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
Babe, you won't be satisfied until you break my heart
The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
(Oh, yes)
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same
You only tearing all my little dreams apart
Oh, you won't be satisfied until you break my heart

Lyrics:
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

I found this song from a letter my grandfather wrote to my grandma in 1946. He said “have you heard this new song? I think it’s very good” ❤️
