For Lovin' Me/Did She Mention My Name

That's what you get for lovin' me

That's what you get for lovin' me

Every thing you had is gone as you can see

That's what you get for lovin' me

I ain't the kind to hang around

With any new love that I found

Since movin' is my stock in trade, I'm movin' on

I won't think of you when I'm gone

So don't you shed a tear for me

Because I ain't the love you thought I'd be

I got a hundred more like you, so don't be blue

I'll have a thousand 'fore I'm through

That's what you get for lovin' me

That's what you get for lovin' me

Every thing you had is gone as you can see

That's what you get for lovin' me

It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day

And talk about the home town a million miles away

Is the ice still on the river, are the old folks still the same

And by the way, did she mention my name?

Did she mention my name just in passing

And when the morning came

Do you remember if she dropped a name or two?

Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all the games

And by the way, did she mention my name?

Did she mention my name just in passing

And when the talk ran high

Did the look in her eye seem far away?

Won't you say hello from someone, they'll be no need to explain

And by the way, did she mention my name?
