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

And end up living with love

Now you left me with nothing

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

How I'm gonna get through

How I'm gonna get through

You always wanted me to be something I wasn't

You always wanted too much

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

How I'm gonna get through

How I'm gonna get through

How I'm gonna get through

How I'm gonna get through

How I'm gonna get through

How I'm gonna get through
