For Lovin' Me
Love's Betrayal: The Bitter Reality of For Lovin' Me
Lyrics
That's what you get for lovin' me
Consequences of loving the speaker
That's what you get for lovin' me
Reiteration of the consequences
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
All possessions are lost due to love
That's what you get for lovin' me.
Summary of the outcomes of loving the speaker
I ain't the kind to hang around
Speaker not committed to long-term relationships
With any new love that I've found
Avoids staying with new loves
Movin' is my stock in trade
Constantly moving is a lifestyle
I'm movin' on
Expresses the speaker's inclination to move on
I won't think of you when I'm gone.
States that thoughts of the past lover won't linger
So don't you shed a tear for me
Asks the former lover not to mourn the speaker's departure
I ain't the love you thought I'd be
Speaker doesn't match the lover's expectations
I've got a hundred more like you
Indicates the speaker has many similar lovers
so don't be blue
Advises against feeling sad about the breakup
I'll have a thousand 'fore I'm through.
Suggests the speaker will have numerous lovers in the future
Now there you go you're crying again
Observes the lover crying again
Now there you go you're crying again
Reiterates the lover's emotional state
But then someday when your poor heart
Implies the lover's heart will heal over time
is on the mend
Suggests the possibility of the speaker returning
I just might pass this way again
Leaves room for a potential reunion
That's what you get for lovin' me
Repeats the consequences of loving the speaker
That's what you get for lovin' me
Reiterates the earlier warning
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
Restates the loss resulting from love
That's what you get for lovin' me.
Final repetition of the consequences
