That's what you get (for being polite)


Jack still cries day and night
Jack's not happy with his life
He want to do this, he want to do that
You want to be kind, but ends up flat for love
For love

He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love's not harsh and love's not bad
And what's he doing for love is so bad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad) All the time getting in
Things he can't get out
Something deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
(That's what you get for being polite)
(For being polite)

Jack still sits all alone
He lives the world that is his own
He's lost in thought of who to be
I wish to God that he would see just love
Give him love

He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love's not harsh and love's not bad
And what's he doing for love is so sad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad) All the time getting in
Things he can't get out
Something deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
(That's what you get for being polite)
(For being polite)

(Jack still) Tryin' to make you happy, but...
(Jack still) Tryin' to make you happy, but...
(Jack still) Tryin' to make you happy, but he's not, but he's not

(Jack still) Tryin' to make you, but don't you know he cries
(Jack still) Don't you know he's scared
(Jack still) It's often for his love, it's for his love
Don't you know he often cries about you
He cries about me
He cries about you (You) and me (And me)
And every little thing that's in his way
He cries about me
He cries about you (You) and me (And me)
Know that he deserves to cry

(Jack still) Don't you know he cries
(Jack still) Don't you know he's scared
(Jack still) It's often for his love, yeah, yeah
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
He cries, he cries because there is a lack of love

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THAT'S WHAT YOU GET (FOR BEING POLITE) of JACKSON 5 is also present in the album Destiny (1978)

Biografia

The Jackson 5 were one of the most popular disco-pop groups of the 1970s, giving rise to the massively successful solo career of lead singer Michael Jackson. Jermaine Jackson also enjoyed success as a solo performer, while sister Janet Jackson (who was never a member of the Jackson 5) also became a pop superstar in the 1980s. The group, originally from Gary, Indiana, consisted of five brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. They began performing in 1964 as The Jackson Brothers, changing their name to The Jackson 5 in 1968. Under the guidance of their father Joseph Jackson, the group signed with Motown Records and quickly achieved national success with singles like "ABC", "I Want You Back" and "Never Can Say Goodbye". Their music was characterized by catchy rhythms, appealing melodies, and energetic performances. The Jackson 5 sold millions of records worldwide and left an indelible mark on the history of pop music.
