The Spinners - Working My Way Back To You

"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 payin' ev'ry 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, but how I cried over losin' you.
See me down and out, but I ain't about to go living my life without you.
For every day I made you cry, I'll pay.
And girl, till the day that I die, I'll keep

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 payin' ev'ry day.

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 payin' ev'ry day.
