That's what you get for loving me That's what you get for loving me Everything we had is gone, you can see That's what you get for loving me Now don't you shed a tear for me I ain't the love you thought I'd be I've had a hundred just like you But don't be blue I'll have a thousand before I'm through That's what you get for loving me That's what you get for loving me Everything we had is gone, you can see That's what you get for loving me Now there you go, you're cryin' again You should have known how things would end But then some day when your poor heart is on the mend I just might pass this way again That's what you get for loving me That's what you get for loving me Everything we had is gone, you can see That's what you get for loving me Written by Gordon Lightfoot
