Get What You Give Lyrics

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
