[Verse 1: Neil Tennant, Dusty Springfield & Both]
You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for my living
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant, Dusty Springfield & Both]
I come here looking for money
Got to have it
And end up living with love, oh, oh
Now you left me with nothing
Can't take it
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Dusty Springfield, Neil Tennant & Both]
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, oh
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant, Dusty Springfield & Both]
You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
You always wanted too much, oh, oh
Now I can do what I want to, forever
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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 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: Dusty Springfield, Neil Tennant & Both]
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, oh
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Baby
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Baby
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Baby
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Tell me
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Baby
How I'm gonna get through (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Yeah
[Interlude]

[Coda: Dusty Springfield]
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through

[Coda: Dusty Springfield]
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through
I'm gonna get through

[Outro: Dusty Springfield]
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 can make a deal
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
I'm gonna get through
Get through
Get me
Get through
Get through
Get through
Get through
Get through
Get me
