Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
I'll keep workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Hey, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do
(Been payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do
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 losing you
See, I'm down and out
But I ain't about to go living my life without you
Hey, every day I made you cry
I'll pay and, girl, till the day I die
I'll keep 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
Do, do, do, do, do
(Been payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do
Oh, I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
If I had been a man in reality
You'd be here, baby, loving me
Now my nights are long and lonely
And I ain't too proud, babe, I just miss you so
Girl, but you're too proud and you won't give in
But when I think about all I could win
I'll keep 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
Do, do, do, do, do
(Been payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do
(You, you, babe)
My road is kind of long
(You, you, babe)
I just gotta get back home
Whoa, I'm really sorry for actin' that way
I'm really sorry, ooh, little girl
I'm really sorry for telling you lies for so long
Oh, please, forgive me, girl, come on (give me a chance)
Won't you forgive me, girl, hey (let's have romance)
Ooh, forgive me, girl (let's try again)
Come on, forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over and over again
I keep workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Hey, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do
(Payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do
I keep working my way back to you, babe
Oh, yeah (burning love inside)
I keep workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
