Songtext That's what you get babe Kevin Ayers

That's what you get babe

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.

Thats what you get for following dreams
Never turn out how they should it seems
That what you get for losing yourself
Thats what you get, babe.
Thats what you get, babe.
Thats what you get, babe.

A bottle of wine, dinner for two
You know me better, Im 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, its warm again.

Thats what you get for loving this way;
Say it loud when theres something to say;
Thats what you get for taking a chance
Thats 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,
Youre guaranteed peace of mind, babe....

Believe it, or leave it,
You do as you please.
Theres no such thing as guarantees
Life doesnt hold any certainties except dying.. .
