That’s What You Get (For Being Polite)
[Verse 1]
Jack still cries day and night
Jack's not happy with his life
He wanna do this, he wanna do that
He wanna be kind but ends up flat
For love
For love
[Pre-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
But what's he's doin' for love is so sad
He wants to be so bad
He wants to be so bad
[Chorus]
All the time gettin' in
Thinks he can't get out
Somethin' deep inside of him
Eatin' up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
[Post-Chorus]
That's what you get for being polite
For being polite
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-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
But what's he's doin' for love is so sad
He wants to be so bad
He wants to be so bad
[Chorus]
All the time gettin' in
Things he can't get out
Somethin' deep inside of him
Eatin' up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
[Post-Chorus]
That's what you get for being polite
For being polite
[Outro]
(Jack's still) Tryna make you happy, but
(Jack's still) Tryna make you happy, but
(Jack's still) Tryna make you happy, but it's love
But it's love
(Jack's still) Tryna make, but don't you know he cries
(Jack's still) But don't you know he's scared, ooh
(Jack's 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 that he deserves to cry
(Jack still) But don't you know he cries
(Jack still) But don't ya know he's scared, oooh
(Jack still) It's often for his love
Yeah, don't ya know
(Jack still) Don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know
(Jack still) Don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know
(Jack still) He cries, he cries because there is no life of love
Don't ya know, it's often
Don't you know, Jack might
Don't you know, yeah, ooh
Don't you know
