Spinners, The - Working My Way Back To You / Forgive Me, Girl Lyrics






Ooh, ooh-ooh

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working 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)

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'm paying, girl, till the day I die

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working 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 would 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 working 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 kinda 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 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 start again)
Come on, forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over again

I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Hey, I'm working 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)
Yeah (Burning love inside)
(Working my way back to you, babe)

Spinners, The Working My Way Back To You / Forgive Me, Girl Comments
  1. M.... ....

    I love this longer version. Has more of a build and gives more time to Forgive Me Girl.

    I know Working My Way Back To You Babe is a remake. What about Forgive Me Girl?

    M.... ....

    They're both covers/remakes. Both songs from the 1960s, I believe. That's what's great about the song: 2 different tunes that become one great song, when combined. This was an absolute classic in 1979/1980, on the radio. Then, I recall that sometimes this full-length version was played on the radio. It should always be played this way.

  2. M.... ....

    One of my all time favorite remakes.

  3. v.... ....

    Music AS Music Should Be!!!

  4. F.... B....

    The Spinners are Outstanding. Love all their songs.

  5. V.... ....

    Wow this is like a super high definition version of the song: o

  6. J.... G....

    Awesome guys wonderful song

  7. M.... D....

    I wish men would admit when they messed up by playing this song and roses.This is how you get a woman after youve messed up badly..
    And beggin

    .

    M.... D....

    (RED PILL)

  8. R.... G....

    Good remake from the 60's in 1979

  9. M.... G....

    For those wondering, the musicians are lead and backing vocalist Bobbie Smith; backing vocalists Bobby Henderson, Henry Fambrough, John Edwards, and Pervis Jackson; guitarists Cliff Morris and Steve Love; bassist Francisco Centeno; drummer Allan Schwartzberg; percussionist Rubens Bassini; keyboardist Pat Rebillot; alto saxophonist Gerry Niewood; tenor saxophonist Lenny Hambro; trombonists Gerald Chamberlain and Warren Covington; bass trombonist Alan Raph; trumpeters Danny Cahn, John Gatchell, and Robert Millikan; string players The Alfred Brown String Section; and arranger-conductor Michael Zager.

    M.... G....

    The Spinners are now Charlton Washington , Marvin Taylor , Ronnie Moss , Jesse Peck , and Henry Fambrough .

  10. I.... E....

    This was REAL R&B

    I.... E....

    Yes it was, not like the sorry excuse passing for R&B nowadays.

  11. K.... J....

    The Spinners is 1 of the greatest group bands of all times

  12. L.... P....

    You know what? I seldom, seldom hear a longer-version track that keeps me happy from beginning to end. I guess I expect too much and get all excited then let down. HOWEVER yall this particular version delivered waay more than I hoped for! The Spinners are Fab U Lous!! Whichever team created this steady, smooth production gets an A+ from me.

    L.... P....

    This is off of The Spinners' album called "Dancin' and Lovin". I have the original vinyl in perfect condition.

  13. D.... J....

    Saw them live last night. The crowd was a little tentative until the music started and it was like a collective WOW! They were great!

  14. B.... S....

    Spinners FOREVER!!!!

  15. M.... A....

    Yessss,work your back,I love this song

  16. P.... R....

  17. k.... K....
