T.Y.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Sandy Linzer, Denny Randell and Michael Zager)
Oooooooooh-oh-oooooooooh

I'll 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-da, do
(Been paying every day)
Do-do, do-da, 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
'Til 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-da, do
(Been paying every day)
Do-do, do-da, 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 working my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away
Do-do, do-da, do
(Been paying every day)
Do-do, do-da, do

(Yooooou, you, babe)
My road is kind of long
(Yooooou, you, babe)
I just gotta get back home

Whoa, I'm really sorry for acting 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 try again)
Come on, forgive me, girl
I want you over and over
And over and over again

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-da, do
(Been paying every day)




Do-do, do-da, do
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe

Hello Anna, and John :)

i wish to add context to the supreme courts decision. They were specifically striking down Biden Admin using the HEROES Act or some covid related act as the funding mechanism / legal path for student loan forgiveness.

That is all to say, the executive branch does have legal authority to cancel or discharge student loans as approved by Congress in the 1965 education Act.*
There have been Senators who have reminded him of this and activists groups like “the debt collective” who have written up the entire executive order, all that is needed is his signature.

So, it is misleading, John, when you say “Biden is doing all that he can”.

Okay wishing you guys well.

When are they going to go after the colleges that charged the exorbitant fees in the first place? Without doing that, all this does is kick the can down the road.

@noel7777noel

So. True. We union people call this cheese. A communist would use cheese to tap a rat. We call someone who doesn't make our purity test a rat. Because rats like cheese.

This reference is a bit rude, but to the point.

@arielepouhe80

Congress has to do that. And America doesn't elect enough congresspeople who believe in doing that.

@Matt-Whit

They already paid to get them in to congress, so they'll never touch it

@suewiley07

I mean, good. Politicians SHOULD do things that they want voters to give them credit for.

@keith8785

Take that 500 Million from Trump and pay off some Student Loans.

@StealthyShot

Take the rest of his money and use it all

@SamMaeder

Yet I can't even get the 20k from my time at ITT refunded when they were found liable for defrauding students, and the department of education announced they would be forgiving the debt for all students that went there.

@isaiahwolf5904

Yo that sucks I no personally some people that where defrauded from there school o read through there paperwork for them and gathered the evidence so they could get a refund from the feds. Maybe if you find some evidence they may give you a break

@user-uh6yr4te2i
