Words and Music by Mike Clifford
Girl, I gave you all I had and
then some more
But you paid me back by walkin’
out my door
Leavin’ nothin’ behind
But the heart you broke in two
I guess That’s The Thanks I Get for
lovin you
You could have let me down
Real easy smooth and slow
But you let me fall like a rider
in a rodeo
Knockin’ me right down
When you found somebody new
But then That’s The Thanks I Get
for lovin you
No letter, no number, no
forwarding address
No apologies, excuses, or regrets
All I got from you is a bad case
of the blues
But then, That’s The Thanks I Get
for Lovin you
Solo
One day you’re gonna change your
mind
And walk on back
But you’ll find out quick
That leavin’ is a one-way track
When you see somebody else
Has filled your shoes
But then, That’s The Thanks I Got
for Lovin you
