What Have I Done To Deserve This

"What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is a 1987 collaboration between two UK recording artists, Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield. When released as a single in late 1987, it peaked at number two in the UK charts and at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the fourth Top Ten hit for Pet Shop Boys as well as the biggest hit of Springfield's career in the U.S. The song's success helped revive Springfield's career and led to a resurgence of interest in her music. Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield mimed a performance of the song for the 1988 BRIT Awards. Following the duet the Pet Shop Boys wrote and produced the singles "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private" for Springfield, both included on her 1990 album Reputation.

Pet Shop Boys Lyrics "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" From The Album "Actually" (1987) 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? 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? I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers I read you 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? 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? 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? 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? (baby) What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? How I'm gonna get through? (baby) What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? How I'm gonna get through? (baby) What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? How I'm gonna get through? (tell me) What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? How I'm gonna get through? (baby) What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? How I'm gonna get through? (yeah) What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? Gonna get through? Gonna get through? What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? I'm gonna get through, right? What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? 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? You never ever left me, baby, think of me... What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? Oh, babe What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
