Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away?
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you, baby
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong
[PreChorus]
Don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feelin' the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me, is this fair?
Is this the way it's really goin' down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Shoulda known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're livin' a lie
But that's ok, baby, 'cause in time you will find
[Chorus]
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were movin' on now
And maybe I should do the same
The funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, baby
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong
[PreChorus]
Don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feelin' the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me, is this fair?
Is this the way it's really goin' down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Shoulda known better when you came around
Shoulda known better that you were gonna make me cry
And now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're livin' a lie
That's okay, baby, 'cause in time you will find
[Chorus]
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around, yeah
[Bridge]
What goes around, back around
Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feelin' the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me, is this fair?
[Chorus]
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around, yeah
[Verse 3]
You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him, all you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out that he's doin' to you
What you did to me, ain't that the way it goes?
When you cheated, girl
My heart bleeded, girl
So it goes without sayin' that you left me feelin' hurt
Just a classic case, sc-, sc-, scenario
Tale as old as time, girl, you got what you deserved
And now you want somebody to cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody that could come and make it right
But girl, I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
See
[Outro]
What goes around comes back around
I thought I told ya, hey
What goes around comes back around
I thought I told ya, hey
What goes around comes back around
I thought I told ya, hey
What goes around comes back around
I thought I told ya, hey
