Is This What I Get for Loving You - The Ronettes/Marianne Faithfull

   
Is This What I Get for Loving You
There's been a lot of talk around
That you've been seen with a certain party
And now I'm so afraid I'm losing you
Oh, baby, don't tell me you don't want my love
I couldn't give it to just anybody
Baby, won't you tell me it's not true
Don't leave me, baby
Don't tell me it's over
After I trusted you
And did my best to make you happy
Is this what I get for loving you, baby
Is this what I get for loving you, baby
There was a night when you held me tight
And you said you'd always love me
You said you'd never hurt me

What would there be left for me
It's such a cruel world to be alone in
I always needed you to look out for me
And, baby, I'm gonna miss your loving arms

They're the only arms I feel at home in
Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be
Don't leave me, baby
Don't tell me it's over
After I trusted you and did my best to make you happy
Is this what I get for loving you, baby
Is this what I get for loving you, baby
There was a night when you held me tight
And you said you'd always love me
(And you said you'd never hurt me)
You said you'd never hurt me
(You said you'd never hurt me)

Don't leave me, baby
Is this what I get for loving you, baby
Is this what I get for loving you, baby
There was a night when you held me tight
And you said you'd always love me
You said you'd never hurt me
