That’s what you get for lovin’ me
That’s what you get for lovin’ me
Ev’ry thing you had is gone
As you can see
That’s what you get for lovin’ me
I ain’t the kind to hang around
With any new love that I found
‘Cause movin’ is my stock in trade
I’m movin’ on
I won’t think of you when I’m gone.

So don’t you shed a tear for me
B’cause I ain’t the love you thought I’d be
I got a hundred more like you
So don’t be blue
I’ll have a thousand ‘fore I’m through

Now there you go you’re cryin’ again
Now there you go you’re cryin’ again
But then someday when your poor heart
Is on the mend
Well I just might pass this way again

That’s what you get for lovin’ me
That’s what you get for lovin’ me
Everything you had is gone
As you can see
That’s what you get for lovin’ me
That’s what you get for lovin’ me
