Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it it get away
Been paying everyday
[Verse 3]
When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
But how I cried over losing you
[Verse 4]
See, I'm down and out
But I ain't about to go living my life without you
Hey, every day I made you cry
I'm paying girl, till the day I die
[Verse 5]
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it it get away
Been paying everyday
[Verse 6]
Oh, I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
If I had been a man in reality
You would be here abby, loving me
[Verse 7]
Now my nights are long
And I ain't too proud babe, I just miss you so
Girl, but you're too proud and you won't give in
But when I think about all I could win
[Verse 8]
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it it get away
Been paying everyday
[Verse 9]
You, you, babe
My road is kinda long
You, you, babe
I just gotta get back home
[Verse 10]
Oh, I'm really sorry for acting that way
I'm really sorry, ooh little girl
I'm really sorry for telling you lies for so long
Oh please
[Verse 11]
Please forgive me girl, come on
Give me a chance, won't you forgive me, girl?
Let's have romance, ooh forgive me girl
Let's start again, come on forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over again
[Verse 12]
I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it it get away
Paying everyday
[Verse 13]
I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Working my way back to you, babe...
