You always wanted a lover I only wanted a job.
I've always worked for a living.
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?
Now you've left me with nothing.
(Can't take it.)
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?
I brought you drinks, I brought you flowers,
I read your books and talked for hours ev'ry day.
So many drinks, such pretty flow'rs, 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
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through, how I'm 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?)
How I'm gonna get through, 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, how I'm gonna get through.
Gonna get through. (Gonna get through.)
You always wanted a lover I only wanted a job.
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 to fast and walk to slow
Chasing time from hour to hour, I pour the drinks and crush the 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?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through, how I'm 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?)
How I'm gonna get through, 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, how I'm gonna get through.
Gonna get through. (Gonna get through.)
