The Spinners – Working My Way Back To You (Forgive Me, Girl) lyrics

Ooh... Ooh... Ooh...
Ooh... Ooh... Ooh...

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Hey, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
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
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
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
I'll pay and, girl, till the day I die

I'll keep workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' 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

Do, do, do, do, do

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

Do, do, do, do, do

My road is kind of long

I just gotta get back home

Whoa, I'm really sorry for actin' that way
I'm really sorry, ooh, little girl
I'm really sorry for throwin' away our love, sweet little girl
I'm really sorry for makin' you cry
I really mean it, don't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm really sorry for telling you lies for so long

Oh, please, forgive me, girl, come on
Won't you forgive me, girl, hey,
Ooh, forgive me, girl
Come on, forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over and over again

Won't you give me one more try
If you don't I believe I'll die

I'm sorry for actin' that way
I'm really sorry, little bitty girl
I'm really sorry for throwin' away our love

Please, baby, forgive me, girl, oh
Won't you forgive me, girl, hey
Please forgive me, girl
Forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over and over again

I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Hey, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do

I keep working my way back to you, babe
Oh... Yeah
I keep workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away

Paying every day

I keep working my way back to you, babe
Yeah...

And the happiness that died
