Robert Palmer - You’re Gonna Get What’s Coming lyrics

by Robert Palmer

You came upon me like a landslide,

Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it.

I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside,

Give me a minute to finish this thing and we'll light it.

In all this heat it's a job keepin' cool

And I could fry an egg on you.

You came upon me like a landslide,

Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it.

You're gonna get what's coming,

You been askin' for it two days runnin'

You're gonna get what's comin'

You're gonna get what's coming to you.

I hope that you're half as intrepid as you make out,

Often or not, but you never got what you asked for.

Keep on pouring until you hear me shout,

And turn up the sound if you want me to drive any faster.

Caution went out when you walked in the room,

If it never came back it would be too soon.

You're gonna get what's coming,

You been askin' for it two days runnin'

You're gonna get what's comin'

You're gonna get what's coming to you.

You came upon me like a landslide,

Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it.

You're gonna get what's coming,

You been askin' for it two days runnin'

You're gonna get what's comin'

You're gonna get what's coming to you.
