What Have I Done To Deserve This ? Songtext / Lyric

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?
