Kevin Ayers - That's What You Get Babe lyrics

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.. .
