Workin' 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
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 down and out
But I ain't about to go livin' my life without you
For everyday I made you cry
I'm payin', girl, 'til the day that I die
I'll keep workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' every day
I used to love to make you cry (cry, cry)
It made me feel like a man inside (baby, baby)
But if I'd been a man in reality (cry, cry)
You'd still be here, babe, lovin' me
Now the nights are long and lonely
And I ain't too strong, babe, I just miss you so
And you're too proud, you won't give in
But when I think about all I could win
I keep workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Mm, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Oh, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
Oh, how I cried
Workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Oh, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
