Can You Get to That

I once had a life, or rather, life had me
I was one among many, or at least I seemed to be
But I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
Said, «Gonna reap just what you sow,
The debts you make you’ll have to pay.»
Can you get to that?
Can — you — get
(I wanna know)
I wanna know if you get to that
I recollect with mixed emotions
All the good times we used to have
But you were makin' preparations for the common separations
And you blew everything we had
When you base your life on credit
And your lovin' days are done
The checks you sign with love and kisses later come back
Signed «insufficient funds»
Can — you — get
(I wanna know)
I wanna know if you get to that
When you base your life on credit
And your lovin' days are done
The checks you sign with love and kisses later come back
Signed «insufficient funds»
Yo, get to that
Can — you — get
(I wanna know)
I wanna know if you get to that
