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 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)
What I get, what I get
(This love is what I get)
