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 leaving with love, oh, oh
Now you left me with nothing
          (Can't take that)
     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 am I gonna get through?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
          How am I 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 am I gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
          How am I gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
          How am I gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
          How am I gonna get through? (tell me)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
          How am I gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
          How am I 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?
          Aah, gonna get through?
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
