working my way back to you, babe
with a burnin' love inside
yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
and the happiness that died
I let it get away
been payin' every day
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 losin' you
see me cryin' now, but I ain't about to go
livin' my life without you
for every day I made you cry
I'm payin', girl, 'til the day that I die
I keep working my way back to you, babe
with a burnin' love inside
yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
and the happiness that died
I let it get away
been payin' every day
I used to love to make you cry
it made me feel like a man inside
but if I'd been a man in reality
you'd still be here, babe, lovin' me
now the nights are long and lonely
and I ain't through strugglin', I just miss you so
and you're too proud you won't give in
but when I think about all I can win
I keep working my way back to you, babe
with a burnin' love inside
yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
and the happiness that died, oh how I cried
with a burnin' love inside
yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
and the happiness that died
I let it get away
been payin' every day
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 losin' you
see me cryin' now, but I ain't about to go
livin' my life without you
for every day I made you cry
I'm payin', girl, 'til the day that I die
I keep working my way back to you, babe
with a burnin' love inside
yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
and the happiness that died
I let it get away
