You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for a living
How am I going to get through?
How am I going to get through?
I come here looking for money
And end up leaving with love
Now you've left me with nothing
(Can't take it)
How am I going to get through?
How am I going to 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
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
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
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this?
(ad lib to fade.)
