Get What You Give

Father, father speaking out

Wants to tell you what it's all about

But you don't listen, you don't care

No one tells you what to do around here

Got your girl, and it's all good

You're so tired of being so misunderstood

You'd love to get him off your back

You just want him to cut you some slack

You said, "He don't know where I'm at", yeah

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know

You get what you give

That's right, that's right

That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know

Lost the key that locks your room

And momma's gonna be home soon

Guess this means you've got to lie

You ain't got no other alibi

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know

You get what you give, yeah

That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know

(What you give, is what you get)

Tell your daddy you'll be fine

Not to worry you'll get by

Grow your hair and change your name

Pack your bags and runaway

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know

You get what you give

That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know

You get what you give

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know

You get what you give

That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know

You get what you give
