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?
I come here looking for money (Got to have it) and end up leaving with love Now you've left me with nothing (Can't take it) How'm I gonna get through? How'm I gonna get through?
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…
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
You always wanted me to be something I wasn't You always wanted too much Now I can do what I want to forever How'm I gonna get through? How'm I gonna get through?
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, 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...
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
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight We don't need to go to hell and back every night We could make a deal
