IS THIS WHAT I GET FOR LOVING YOU

Writers: 

Gerry Goffin, Carole King, and Phil Spector

Lyrics: 

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 say it isn't 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 always need me
What will there be left for me
It's such a cruel world to be alone in
I always needed you to look out for me
Oh, baby, I'm gonna miss your loving arms
'Cause 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
You said you'd always need me
What will there be left for me
It's such a cruel world to be alone in
I always needed you to look out for me
Oh, baby, I'm gonna miss your loving arms
'Cause 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
You said you'd always need me
