The Thanks I Get
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is that the thanks I get for lovin you?
Is that the thanks I get for tellin you the truth?
You say you wanna know
Where I go when I go
You say you wanna communicate
But you dont hear a word I say
Is that the thanks I get for loving you?
Now I'm tired of the looks you give me when I get home late
And I'm getting tired how you forget the lovin things I say
I hold you tight
I treat you right
Now everytime I go out to play
Why you think im leaving
Is that the thanks I get for loving you?
Now faith and trust, the strongest part of us
That's ok, but you must believe in our love
We can make it better
Put ourselves together and start it again
I hold you tight
You tuck me in at night
I dont ever wanna fight again
I think were both crazy
But thats the thanks we get for falling in love
We can make it better
We can make it better
Put ourselves together
Start it again
