I'll be working my way back to you babe 
With a burning love inside 
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe 
And the happiness that died 
I let it get away 
Been 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 
How I cried over losing you 
See I'm tired and I 
I ain't about to go living my life without you 
Hey, every day I made you cry 
I'm begging girl 'till the day I die 

I'll be working my way back to you babe 
With a burning love inside 
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe 
And the happiness that died 
I let it get away 
Been paying every day 

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 need you so 
Girl but you're too proud and won't give in 
But when I think about our love again 

I'll be working my way back to you babe 
With a burning love inside 
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe 
And the happiness that died 
I let it get away 
Been paying every day 

My road is kinda long 
I just gotta get back home 
Oohh I'm really sorry for actin' that way 
I'm really sorry oohh little girl 
I'm really sorry for telling you lies 
For so long ohh please 
Forgive me girl come on (give me a chance) 
Won't you forgive me girl hey (lets have romance) 
Oohh forgive me girl (lets start again) 
Come on forgive me girl 
I want you over and over and over and over again 

I'll be working my way back to you babe 
With a burning love inside 
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe 
And the happiness that died 
I let it get away 
Been paying every day
