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 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
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
