about

Originally performed by the Thousandaires as "Gettin' What You Give"

lyrics

I could curse the town I’m in
for messing up my name
I could search for greener pastures
and try to pass the blame

I could swim the ocean
I could cross the sea
I could go to the ends of the Earth
but I still gotta deal with me

I live the life I love
I love the life I live
Everywhere it’s all the same:
Get what you give

Now I’m no Casanova
but I’ve kissed one or two
Mr. Valentino,
got a message here for you:

I could really get around
I could play the field
I could go from town to town
but I’d never be fulfilled

I live the life I love
I love the life I live
Everywhere it’s all the same:
Get what you give

Get what you give, get what you give
Get what you give, get what you give
