Lyrics

[Intro]
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
That's what you get for loving me
[Verse 1]
I ain't the kind to hang around
With any new love that I've found
Movin' is my stock and trade, I'm moving on
I won't think of you when I'm gone
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
That's what you get for loving me
