I'm 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
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
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 every day, I made you cry
I'm payin' girl, till 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 (Make you 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
Mmm, 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

I'm workin' my way back to you babe
With a burnin' love inside
Ooh, 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
I'm workin' my way back to you babe
