Lyrics
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.
I ain’t the kind to hang around With any new love that I’ve found 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 I ain’t the love you thought I’d be I’ve 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 crying again Now there you go you’re crying again But then someday when your poor heart is on the mend 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
