Lyrics:

I won't need you to want me just the way I wanted you.
And I feel pretty foolish when you've found somebody new.
I think it's fair to warn you, girl, you can't treat love that way.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
And pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

I know mine's not the first love to be put up on the shelf.
In fact it's not the first one you put up there yourself.
I'm only sorry I won't be around to see your face.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
Pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

--- Instrumental ---

When I think of all the hearts that I could find to hurt.
I guess it's only fair now that the tables have been turned.
Speaking from experience, I think it's safe to say.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
An' pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday,
An' pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace.
When you least expect it, love will put you in your place.
Love's gonna get you someday.

Love's gonna get you someday...
