You always wanted a lover I only wanted a job I've always worked for my living How am I gonna get through? How am I gonna get through?
I come here looking for money (Got to have it) And end up leaving with love, oh, oh Now you left me with nothing (Can't take that) How am I gonna get through? How am I gonna get through?
I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers I read you 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, oh How am I gonna get through? What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? How am I gonna get through? What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
You always wanted me to be something I wasn't You always wanted too much, oh, oh Now I can do what I want to - forever How am I gonna get through? How am 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 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, oh How am I gonna get through? (baby)
