Ain't got no place that I call home
I'm just a drifter with a razor and comb
Every night another cheap hotel
Yes, you could say I ain't doing too well

That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you

Somebody stole my watch and chain
I didn't notice, wasn't feelin' no pain
All I got left is a picture of you
It's kinda faded and torn in two

That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you

Love is foolish and love ain't fair
When you need it, it's never there
If you think love is so sweet and kind
Just come and see me at closing time

How did I get here? I don't know
I had it all till I let you go
I know love will never be the same
Got nobody but myself to blame

That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you

Love is foolish and love ain't fair
When you need it, it's never there
If you think love is so sweet and kind
Just come and see me at closing time

How did I get here, I don't know
I had it all till I let you go
I know love will never be the same
Got nobody but myself to blame

That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you

That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get for losing you
