Get What You Give

Jonny Lang

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 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

You get what you give



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

You get what you give, get what you give

(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
