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?)
