What Have I Done to Deserve This? Songtext
von Pet Shop Boys

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
(Oh-ooh-oh)
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-oh
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
(Oh-ooh-oh)
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 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-oh
How I′m gonna get through?
How I'm gonna get through?
How I′m gonna get through?
How I'm gonna get through?
How I'm gonna get through?
How I′m gonna get through?

How I′m gonna get through?
How I'm gonna get through?
(Ahh-ahh)
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

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

(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 done to deserve this?)
