I heard you've been runnin' around
And I know, your old flame is back in time
Now you said, you're love for her is gone
But every chance you get boy, you tryna see her alone

Oh baby, is this the thanks I get? (Oh baby, oh baby)
For loving you
Oh yeah (Is this, the thanks I get)

When I think I got you all to myself
I get the news, your lovin' somebody else
If you can't, leave 'em alone
Give me the facts baby, don't keep me hangin' on

Oh baby, is this the thanks I get? (Oh baby, oh baby)
For loving you
Oh yeah (Is this, the thanks I get)

I gave up every guy I knew
So that I, could be true to you
What can I do, baby, what can I say?
How can I be good, while you're one thing

Stop messing with my mind, stop playing with my heart
You had me fooled, from the very start
Just like a fool, with [?] emotion
Walked into your trap boy, with my eyes wide open

Oh baby, is this the thanks I get? (Oh baby, oh baby)
For loving you
Oh yeah (Is this, the thanks I get)
Is this the thanks I get, babe, for loving you? (Is this the thanks, for loving you)
Oh baby, baby, is this what I get (Is this the thanks, for loving you)
You did me wrong baby, yes you did (Is this the thanks, for loving you)
You made me love you baby, but that's alright (Is this the thanks, for loving you)
Ooh baby, oh baby, baby (Is this the thanks, for loving you)
Is this what I get, for trying to tell me your no good (Is this the thanks, for loving you)
