You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I´ve always worked for my 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
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 brought you flowers
I read your 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 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 too much
Now I can do what I want to forever
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 pour the drinks and crush the flowers
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 how I´m gonna get through
How I´m gonna get through

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

What have I done to deserve this?
