That's What You Get Babe Lyrics - Kevin Ayers

Dead words scattered round the room like dust 

Daggers and knives that have started to rust 

One more battle fought in the name of love. 

Tears and blood splattered over the wall 

Broken bits and pieces up and down the hall 

Take 'em up to bed, 

And stick 'em all together again. 

That's what you get for following dreams 

Never turn out how they should it seems 

That what you get for losing yourself 

That's what you get, babe. 

That's what you get, babe. 

That's what you get, babe.

A bottle of wine, dinner for two 

You know me better, I'm learning 'bout you 

Two blue candles burn with the flame of love 

. one day soon will come a shake up time 

But, baby tonight, loving you feels fine; 

I hold yours, and you hold mine, it's warm again. 

That's what you get for loving this way; 

Say it loud when there's something to say; 

That's what you get for taking a chance 

That's what you get, babe. 

You give your heart away 

And most of your time 

Sign away your freedom 

On some dotted line 

Stick to the rules, 

You're guaranteed peace of mind, babe...

Believe it, or leave it, 

You do as you please. 

There's no such thing as guarantees 

Life doesn't hold any certainties except dying. .
