I'm working 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

Been 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 cryin' now but I ain't about to go

Livin' my life without you

For every day I made you cry

I'm payin' girl 'til day that I die

Yeah I'm working 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

Been 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 ain't through strugglin' I just miss you so

And you're too proud you won't give in

But when I think about all I can win

Working 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 oh how I cried

Yeah I'm working 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

Been pay in' ev ery day
