Lyrics The Jacksons

The Jacksons

That's What You Get (For Being Polite)

Jack still cries day and night

Jack's not happy with his life

He wants to do this

He wants to that

You want to be kind but ends up flat for love

For love

[Chorus:]

He tries so hard to give a lot

He wants to be what he is not

But love's not harsh and love's not bad

So what's he doing for love is so sad

He wants to be so bad

He wants to be so bad

All the time getting in

Things he can't get out

Something deep inside of him

Eatin' up the pride of him

That makes him buy things for the girls

That's what you get for being polite

For being polite

Jack still sits all alone

He lives the world that is his own

He's lost in thought of who to be

I wish to god that he would see just love

Give him love

[Chorus]

(Jack still) tryin' to make you happy but

(Jack still) tryin' to make you happy but

(Jack still) tryin'to make you happy but it's love, but it's love

(Jack still) tryin' to make you, but don't you know he cries

(Jack still) don't you know he's scared

(Jack still) it's often for his love

It's for his love

Don't you know he often cries about you

He cries about me

He cries about you (you) and me (and me)

And every little thing that's in his way

He cries about me

He cries about you (you) and me (and me)

He knows he deserves to cry

[Chorus]
