The Detroit Spinners

The Spinners are an American rhythm and blues vocal group that formed in Ferndale, Michigan, United States, in 1954. They enjoyed a string of hit singles and albums during the 1960s and 1970s, particularly with producer Thom Bell. The group continues to tour, without any original members, after Henry Fambrough retired in 2023.The group is also listed as the Detroit Spinners and the Motown Spinners, due to their 1960s recordings with the Motown label. These other names were used in the UK to avoid confusion with a British folk group also called the Spinners. On June 30, 1976, they received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Spinners were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023. more »

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
