What have I done to deserve this

Lyrics

You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for a living

How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?

I come here looking for money (got to have it)
And end up leaving with love (ohh-oh)
Now you've left me with nothing (can't take it)
 
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?

I bought you drinks
I bought you flowers
I read you books
And talked for hours
So 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
How I'm gonna get through

You always wanted me to 
Be something I wasn't
You always wanted to much, oh-oh
Now I can do what I want to
For ever

How'm I gonna get through
  • How'm 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'd 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

We don't have to fall apart
We don't have to fight
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
We could make a deal
