Lyrics The Ronettes

The Ronettes

Is This What I Get For Loving You?

There's been a lot of talk around

That you've been seen with a certain party

& now I'm so afraid I'm losing you, oh baby

Don't tell me you don't want my love

I couldn't give it to just anybody

Baby won't you tell me it's not true?

Bridge:

Don't leave me, baby

Don't tell me it's over

After I trusted you

& did my best to make you happy

Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?

Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?

There was a night when you held me tight

& you said you'd always love me

You said you'd never hurt me

What would there be left for me?

It's such a cruel world to be alone in

I always needed you to look out for me, oh baby

I'm gonna miss your loving arms

They're the only arms I feel at home in

Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be

(bridge)

(chorus)

Don't leave me baby

(chorus, to fade)
