Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for my living
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?
[Verse 2]
I come here looking for money (Got to have it)
And end up leaving with love, oh, oh oh
Now you've left me with nothing (Can't take it)
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?
[Verse 3]
I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read your books and talked for hours
Every day so many drinks such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I
[Verse 4]
Since you went away, I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know
How I'm gonna get through
How I'm gonna get through
[Verse 5]
You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
You always wanted too much, oh oh, whoa
Now, I can do what I want to forever
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?
[Verse 6]
At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I
[Verse 7]
Since you went away, I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through
How I'm gonna get through
How I'm gonna get through
[Verse 8]
Gonna get through
Gonna get through
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
I'm gonna get through, right?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
You never ever left me, baby, think of me
Oh, babe
[Verse 9]
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Oh, baby
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
