Ooh, ooh, ooh,

Hey, I’m workin ’ my way

And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do
When you were so in love with me

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

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

My road is kind of long
(You, you, babe )
