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
