Chorus:
A               A7              D
That's what you get for lovin' me.
A               A7         G A
That's what you get lovin' me.
D                     Bm                E
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
A               A7              D
That's what you get for lovin' me.

A           A7           D
I ain't the kind to hang around.
A         A7                 G A
With any new love that I've found.
D                      Bm              E
Movin' is my stock-in-trade I'm movin' on
A             A7               D
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 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.
I just might pass this way again.

Chorus:
That's what you get for lovin me
That's what you get 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
That's what you get for lovin' me
