If you're vying for his attention Not enough affection for you Find yourself a thing to do now Don't be crying, that's below you [Chorus] Oh well, that's what you get Falling in love with a cowboy Oh Lord, don't you forget You fell in love with a cowboy That's what you get And a man must be his own It's only for the best you know, dear If he's got things on his mind Well, there's a plan he's mustering so [Chorus] Oh well, that's what you get Falling in love with a cowboy Oh Lord, don't you forget You fell in love with a cowboy That's what you get And at night under the sheets His arms come searching for your embrace Don't be mad You know it's only what you wanted in the first place [Chorus] Oh well, that's what you get Falling in love with a cowboy Oh Lord, don't you forget You fell in love with a cowboy That's what you get That's what you get
