Thats What You Get For Being Polite by The Jacksons Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jack still cries day and night
Jack's not happy with his life
He wanna do this, he wanna do that
He wanna be kind but ends up flat
For love
For love
[Pre-Chorus]
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
But love's not harsh, and love's not bad
But what's he's doin' for love is so sad
He wants to be so bad he wants to be so bad
[Chorus]
All the time gettin' in
Thinks he can't get out
Somethin' deep inside of him
Eatin' up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
[Post-Chorus]
That's what you get for being polite
For being polite
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
But love's not harsh and love's not bad
But what's he's doin' for love is so sad
He wants to be so bad he wants to be so bad
[Chorus]
All the time gettin' in
Things he can't get out
Somethin' deep inside of him
Eatin' up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
[Post-Chorus]
That's what you get for being polite
For being polite
[Outro]
(Jack's still) tryin' to make you happy but
(Jack's still) tryin' to make you happy but
(Jack's still) tryin' to make you happy but it's love, but it's love
(Jack's still) tryin' to make, but don't you know he cries
(Jack's still) but don't you know he's scared, ooh!
(Jack's 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)
He knows that he deserves to cry
(Jack still) but don't you know he cries
(Jack still) but don't ya know he's scared, oooh
(Jack still) it's often for his love, yeah, don't ya know
(Jack still) don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know
(Jack still) don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know
(Jack still) he cries, he cries because there is no life of love
Don't ya know, it's often..........
Don't you know, he often cries because there is no life of love
[Ad-libs to fade]
Jack still cries day and night
Jack's not happy with his life
He wanna do this, he wanna do that
He wanna be kind but ends up flat
For love
For love
[Pre-Chorus]
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
But love's not harsh, and love's not bad
But what's he's doin' for love is so sad
He wants to be so bad he wants to be so bad
[Chorus]
All the time gettin' in
Thinks he can't get out
Somethin' deep inside of him
Eatin' up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
[Post-Chorus]
That's what you get for being polite
For being polite
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
But love's not harsh and love's not bad
But what's he's doin' for love is so sad
He wants to be so bad he wants to be so bad
[Chorus]
All the time gettin' in
Things he can't get out
Somethin' deep inside of him
Eatin' up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
[Post-Chorus]
That's what you get for being polite
For being polite
