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

Jack still cries day and night 

Jack's not happy with his life 

He wants to do this he wants to 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 

But love's not harsh and love's not bad 

So 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 

Eatin' 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 

But love's not harsh and love's not bad 

So 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 

Eatin' 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 it's love, but it's love 

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

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

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 he deserves to cry 

(Ad-lib till fade)
