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 get away
Been payin' ev'ry 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 down and out, but I ain't about to go living my life without you
For every day I made you cry, I'll pay
And girl, till the day that I die, 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 get away
Been payin' ev'ry 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 too strong, babe
I just miss you so
And you're too proud, you won't give in
But when I think about all I could win, 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 get away
Been payin' ev'ry day
