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
