Lyrics

[Intro]
What goes around comes back around, hey (My baby)
What goes around comes back around, hey (My baby)
I say what goes around comes back around, hey (Hey, my baby)
What goes around comes back around
[Verse 1]
There was a time I thought that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong, boy I, must've been out of my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed yo' ass, and I
I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
I thank God I dodged a bullet
I'm so over you, so baby, good lookin' out
[Chorus]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly
You turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
You turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
And I'm gon' always be the (Best thing you never had)
Oh yeah, I bet it sucks to be you right now
[Verse 2]
So sad, you're hurt
Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care?
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
When I think that there was a time
That I almost loved you
You showed yo' ass
And baby yes, I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
I thank God I dodged a bullet
I'm so over you, baby, good lookin' out
[Chorus]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly
You turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
I said, you turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
Hmm, and I'll never be the (Best thing you never had)
Oh baby, I bet, sucks to be you right now
[Bridge]
I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts that I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place
Another time
Another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye
[Chorus]
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly, you turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
Oh, you turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
And I will always be the (Best thing you never had)
Ooh, best thing you never had
[Chorus]
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly
You turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
Oh, you turned out to be the (Best thing I never had)
Ooh, I will never be the (Best thing you never had)
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now
[Outro]
What goes around comes back around
What goes around comes back around (I bet it sucks to be you right now)
What goes around comes back around (I bet it sucks to be you right now)
What goes around comes back around (I bet it sucks to be you right now)
