Lyrics
That's What You Get
Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington
So That's What You Get
When you fall in love and you give yourself away
It's not over yet
Until you're on your knees and there's nothing left to pray
And everything that you ever heard about Love and Trust and Faith just leaves you flat
And That's What You Get...yeah
So That's What You Get
When you're in too deep and you don't know where to turn
And look at what's left
When you lose your soul and your flesh begins to burn
And everything that you've ever felt about Heaven, Hell and God just leaves you flat
And That's What You Get...
It's not over yet....(what did you expect?)
So That's What You Get
When you reach too high and your whole life comes undone
Sticky and wet
When your wings are wax and you fly too near the sun
And everything that you've ever learned about Fate and Life and Luck just leaves you flat
And That's What You Get
And everything that you've ever known about Heaven, Sex and Death just leaves you flat
And That's What You get
It's not over yet
And That's What You Get...Heaven, Sex and Death
