Released in 1971 as part of Waylon Jennings’ album “The Taker/Tulsa,” the song “That’s What You Get for Loving Me” is one of the most compelling tracks in his outlaw country repertoire. Written by Jennings himself, the song stands as a reflection of the raw emotions that ran through his life—emotions shaped by love, loss, and the brutal realities of relationships. Like many of his songs, it has an authenticity that connects with listeners who know the pain of unrequited love or complicated relationships.
