Working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away, paying 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
Oh how I cried over losing you
See me down and out
But I ain't about to go
Living my life without you
For every day I made you cry
I'm begging, girl, 'til the day that I die
I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe
With a happiness that died
I let it get away, payin' every day
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'm not too strong, babe, I just miss you so
And you're too proud, won't give in
But when I think about all I could win
I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
I'm working my way back to you, babe
With a happiness that died
I let it get away, payin' every day
Working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
I'm working my way back to you, babe
With a happiness that died--oh how I'm cryin'
Working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
