The Spinners and The Detroit Spinners - Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me Girl

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
(Been paying every day)
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
(Been payin' every day)
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
(Been payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do
(You, you, babe)
My road is kind of long
(You, you, babe)
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
(Give me a chance)
Won't you forgive me, girl,
hey, (Let's have romance)
Ooh, forgive me, girl
(Let's try again)
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 (Give me a chance)
Won't you forgive me, girl,
hey (Let's have romance)
Please forgive me, girl
(Let's try again)
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
(Payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do
I keep working my way
back to you, babe
Oh, yeah
(Burning love inside)
I keep workin' my way
back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
(Do, do, do, do, do)
Paying every day
(Do, do, do, do, do)
I keep working my way
back to you, babe
Yeah.
(Burning love inside)
(Working my way back to you, babe)
And the happiness that died
