You went away, it should make me feel better
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Since you went away I've been hanging around
I come here looking for money
You always wanted a lover
(Can't take it)
(Baby)
Gonna get through, baby, yeah
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
You went away, it should make me feel better
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
I only wanted a job
(Baby)
How I'm gonna get through?
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
What have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How am I gonna get through?
Now I can do what I want to forever
How am I gonna get through?
You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
Forever
You never ever left me, baby, think of me
How I'm gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?
(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
(Got to have it)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
You always wanted too much, oh, oh
Gonna get through?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How am I gonna get through?
I've always worked for my living
But I don't know, oh
(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 done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How am I gonna get through?
(Baby)

How I'm gonna get through?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Chasing time from hour to hour
I bought you drinks, I brought you 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?)
How I'm gonna get through?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
And end up living with love, oh, oh
(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
What have I, what have I, what have I
(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?)
How I'm gonna get through?
Every day, so many drinks
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Gonna get through?
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?)
(Baby)
Such pretty flowers, so tell me
Since you went away I've been hanging around
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
(Yeah)
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
I'm gonna get through, right?
How am I gonna get through?
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?)
I read you books and talked for hours
Gonna get through, get through, baby, ooh
Gonna get through, baby, I'm gonna get
How I'm gonna get through?
Now you left me with nothing
Oh, babe
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
(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?)
At night, the people come and go
