Lyrics
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
WHEN I STICK OUT MY NECK
FOR HARD LUCK STORIES
AND A LOSING BET
CASH IN MY CHIPS
WHEN THE MARKETS DOWN
THIS CRAZY WORLDS GOT ME
GOIN ROUND AND ROUND
JUST TRY TO HELP
A FRIEND IN NEED
DON'T WANNA SEE
ANY BODY BLEED
GETTIN' DESPERATE
BARELY HOLDIN' ON
IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE
HE'S GONNA LOSE IT ALL
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
CHOROUS:
I'm just tryin' to
get it right
And I have tried
with all my might
And to you myself I do endear
But you don't ever
seem to hear
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
JUST WHEN I THINK
THAT I KNOW THE COST
MORE ISSUES RISE AND
MY REASONS GET LOST
STEALIN FROM PETER
JUST TO PAY PAUL'S DIME
I'LL GO BUST ITS JUST
A MATTER OF TIME
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
CHOROUS:
I'm just tryin' to do my best
And I don't care
about the rest
And to you myself
I would endear
But you don't seem
to even care
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
THAT'S WHAT I GET,
FOR MY TROUBLES
