FOR LOVIN' ME
(Peter, Paul & Mary)

as recorded by
Gordon Lightfoot 
1966


FOR LOVIN' ME

That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything you had is gone
As you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me.

I ain't the kind to hang around
With any new love that I found
'Cause moving is my stock in trade
I'm moving on
I won't think of you when I'm gone.

(bridge)

So don't you shed a tear for me
'Cause I ain't the love you thought I'd be
I got a hundred more like you
So don't be blue
I'll have a thousand 'fore I'm through.

Now there you go you cried again
Now there you go you cried again
But then someday when your poor heart
Is on the mend
I just might pass this way again.

(bridge)

That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything you had is gone
As you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me.
That's what you get for lovin' me.
