So upset Nervous wreck I can't believe you said goodbye Sit and smoke Cry and joke About these tears in my eyes How could you do what you've gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you A million times A million lines And I've bought 'em, every one You don't care You rip and tear Every dream I've counted on I guess that I should thank my unlucky stars That I'm alive and you're the way you are But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you How could you do what you've gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you I could raise hell But what the hell It wouldn't do a bit a good Pack and leave My heart agrees It seems to think that I should There won't be no more next time doing me wrong You'll come back this time to find out that I'm gone But that's what you get You should expect that from me That's what I get I've come to expect it from you
