Dis-satisfied dis-satisfied nothin' makes you happy that I can see Dis-satisfied dis-satisfied how long before you say that you're dis-satisfied with me You like your new dress for a while then you say it went out of style And you liked your new car for a mouth or so (Yeah but you know I don't like that color) You bored with everything we do nothing I do pleases you And I wonder what'll be the next to go Well one day you fly airplanes the next day you dig baseball games And you're always talkin' about that blonde next door (ah she's a lovely child) The way that you keep changing things I wonder bout your wedding ring Oh how long before it makes your fingers sore (oh I ain't talkin' baby) I know you're dis-satisfied dis-satisfied nothin' makes you happy that I can see Honey are you dis-satisfied dis-satisfied How long before you say that you're dis-satisfied with me [ steel ] Well I put pork chops on your plate But you know I like T-bone steak Well you change your crazy mind from day to day (Listen you dingy red head) I built you a swimmin' pool (yeah cause you know I can't swim you fool) Hahaha I was just tryin' to make you happy In my own simple humble country whispering way Dis-satisfied dis-satisfied nothin' makes you happy that I can see You're actin' dis-satisfied dis-satisfied How long before you say that you're dis-satisfied with me Just come on out and say that you're dis-satisfied with me
