You always wanted a lover
  I only wanted a job
  I've always worked for my living
  How am I gonna get through?
  How am I gonna get through?
    I come here looking for money
  (Got to have it)
  And end up living with love, oh, oh
  Now you left me with nothing
  (Can't take it)
  How am I gonna get through?
  How am I gonna get through?
    I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
  I read you books and talked for hours
  Every day, so many drinks
  Such pretty flowers, so tell me
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  What have I, what have I, what have I ...
    Since you went away I've been hanging around
  I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
  You went away, it should make me feel better
  But I don't know, oh
  How I'm gonna get through?
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  How I'm gonna get through?
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
    You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
  You always wanted too much, oh, oh
  Now I can do what I want to - forever
  How am I gonna get through?
  How am I gonna get through?
    At night, the people come and go
  They talk too fast, and walk too slow
  Chasing time from hour to hour
  I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
  What have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  What have I, what have I, what have I ...
    Since you went away I've been hanging around
  I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
  You went away, it should make me feel better
  But I don't know, oh
  How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  How I'm gonna get through? (tell me)
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  How I'm gonna get through? (yeah)
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
    Gonna get through?
  Gonna get through?
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  I'm gonna get through, right?
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
    We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  We don't need to go to hell and back every night
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  You never ever left me, baby, think of me...
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  Oh, babe
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
    We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  We don't need to go to hell and back every night
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
    Gonna get through, baby, I'm gonna get
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  Forever
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  Gonna get through, baby, yeah,
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
  Gonna get through, get through, baby, ooh
  What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
