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 living with love, oh, oh
Now you left me with nothing
(Can't take it)
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 I'm gonna get through
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
How I'm 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 I'm gonna get through
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
How I'm gonna get through
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
How I'm gonna get through
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
How I'm gonna get through
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
How I'm gonna get through
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
How I'm gonna get through
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this

Gonna get through
Gonna get through

What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
I'm gonna get through, right
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
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
You never ever left me, baby, think of me...

What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
Oh, babe
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
We dont have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
We dont need to go to hell and back every night
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this

Gonna get through, baby, I'm gonna get
What have I, what have I,
What have I done to deserve this
Forever
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
Gonna get through, baby, yeah
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
Gonna get through, get through, baby, ooh
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
