I've been savin' up trouble

Just as best as I can

Said if pain is worth something

Ought to be a rich man

Feel like I'm kissin' a killer

In a boxing ring

I keep falling in love

With the same old thing



Well I can see my life in movies

Where I complain that life's not fair

Now looking back with one eye open

I should never have

Never have a prayer



This is what I get

(This love is what I get)

Never had a prayer

And this is what I get

(This love is what I get)



I'm really feeling like nothin' in a dozen ways

They say you can't get somethin' for nothin' these days

But with my head bowed down on a bended knee

I can offer God nothin' but the truth about me

I said, of all you've laid before me

All the choices could have made

Before all that's just

When I took that trust

And I'm sad to say I threw it away



And this is what I get

(This love is what I get)

When I was throwin' away

And this is what I get

(This love is what I get)



After all you've laid before me

All the choice I could have made

I was waitin' to pay

Ah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

(This love is what I get)

I was waitin' to pay

(This love is what I get)



I'm not worthy, I'll admit

But this love is what I get

I'm not worthy, I'll admit

But this love is what I get

This love

This love is what I get

(This love is what I get)

This love is what I get

(This love is what I get)

This love is what I get

(This love is what I get)

I say, this love is what I get

(This love is what I get)

[scat singing]

(This love is what I get)

This love is wha
