Ooh...ooh...ooh...

 I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
 With a burning 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 paying 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 working my way back to you, babe
 With a burning 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 throwin' away our love, sweet little girl
 I'm really sorry for makin' you cry
 I really mean it, don't you hear me talkin' to you
 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

 Won't you give me one more try
 If you don't I believe I'll die

 I'm sorry for actin' that way
 I'm really sorry, little bitty girl
 I'm really sorry for throwin' away our love

 Please, baby, forgive me, girl, oh (Give me a chance)
 Won't you forgive me, girl, hey (Let's have romance)
 Please forgive me, girl (Let's try again)
 Forgive me, girl
 I want you over and over and over and over and over again

 I keep working 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

 I let it get away
 (Do, do, do, do, do)
 Paying every day
 (Do, do, do, do, do)

 I keep working my way back to you, babe
 Yeah... (Burning love inside)
 (Working my way back to you, babe)
 And the happiness that died
