Jackson 5 That`s What You Get (for Being Polite) Lyrics

That`s What You Get (for Being Polite) Lyrics

Jack still cries day and night

Jack's not happy with his life

He want to do this, he want to do that

You want to be kind, but ends up flat for love

For love



He tries so hard to give a lot

He wants to be what he is not

Love's not harsh and love's not bad

And what's he doing for love is so bad

(He wants to be so bad)

(He wants to be so bad) All the time getting in 

Things he can't get out

Something deep inside of him

Eating up the pride of him

That makes him buy things for the girls

(That's what you get for being polite)

(For being polite)



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



He tries so hard to give a lot

He wants to be what he is not

Love's not harsh and love's not bad

And what's he doing for love is so sad

(He wants to be so bad)

(He wants to be so bad) All the time getting in

Things he can't get out

Something deep inside of him

Eating up the pride of him

That makes him buy things for the girls

(That's what you get for being polite)

(For being polite) 



(Jack still) Tryin' to make you happy, but...

(Jack still) Tryin' to make you happy, but...

(Jack still) Tryin' to make you happy, but he's not, but he's not



(Jack still) Tryin' to make you, but don't you know he cries

(Jack still) Don't you know he's scared

(Jack 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)

Know that he deserves to cry



(Jack still) Don't you know he cries

(Jack still) Don't you know he's scared

(Jack still) It's often for his love, yeah, yeah

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

He cries, he cries because there is a lack of love
