If you think I am going to pay all your bills you have got another think coming.

Hi Tom,

This comment is really a sarcastic rejoinder that you make to show you have no intention of doing what the other person thinks or hopes you are going to do as in:

If you honestly think that I am going to give you any more help after all I've done for you, then you've got another think coming because I have no intention at all of doing so.

Hi Tom

I know this expression as "...you've got another thing coming".
