}}'''"That's What I Get"''' is the eighth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' [[Trent Reznor]] has stated that the song was not originally intended to the be on the album, but was rather meant for b-side material, due to not fitting in lyrically with the rest of the songs.[http://www.nin-pages.de/1990_Keyboard_April_english.htm]
The song is notable for its instantly recognizable "hammer" synth bassline, similar to the one used in "[[Kinda I Want To]]." The song also references "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" in its use of the same recognizable melodic synth voice. An early version of the song had the title "I Can Make Myself Forget".[https://dspace.sunyconnect.suny.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/b096437e-e280-48ed-8a6a-c4ed87b49736/content]

==Live==
"That's What I Get" was played live in its demo form during the [[VIVIsectVI Tour]]. It was then performed in a manner close to its album form throughout the rest of the [[Pretty Hate Machine Tour]]. It was retired from live play at the conclusion of that tour, but was revived as a stripped-down version for the [[Peel It Back Tour]] in 2025.
==Lyrics==
But it meant everything to me
The second last first line of the song actually says "that much" instead of "so much".second verse was changed in the final recording to be How can you turn me into this
The third line from the bridge of the song is changed to Maybe didn't mean that much In its demo form, the chorus lyrics are extended to say: "That's what I get (for trusting you)".
