Lyrics for What Do I Get?

I just want a lover like any other What do I get? I only want a friend who will stay to the end What do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? I'm in distress, I need a caress What do I get? I'm not on the make, I just need a break What do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? I only get sleepless nights Alone here in my half-empty bed For you things seem to turn out right I wish, they'd only happen to me instead What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? I only get sleepless nights Alone here in my half-empty bed For you things seem to turn out right I wish, they'd only happen to me instead What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? I just want a lover like any other What do I get? I only want a friend who will love to the end What do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? What do I get? Oh oh, what do I get? Well, let me tell you now (What do I get?) (What do I get?) (What do I get?) I get no love (What do I get?) No sleep at nights (What do I get?) Nothing that's nice (What do I get?) Nothing at all At all, at all, at all At all, at all, at all 'Cause I don't get you
