verse
I come here looking for money
And end up leaving with love
Now you've left me with nothing
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?
verse
I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read your books and talked for hours
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...
chorus
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
verse
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?
verse
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...
chorus
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
