What Goes Around Comes Around - Lyrics

What goes around, yeah
Comes around, yeah

I got my eyes on you for three long years
When noone else wanted you
I took you in
And held you near
But then you drifted away
After you said you’d always stay
How could you be so mean and untrue
He didn’t want you until he’d seen
What my love did for you, yeah

Ooh baby, what goes around comes around
I knew it soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down
Now you’re the clown
And you want me to come back home

I calmed your love affair
For three long years
Remember I used to care
When you were down
I dried your tears
Who did you think was the fool
I let you treat me so cool
This is the moment of truth for you
Do you think your playing is true
I don’t think I can trust you

Ooh baby, what goes around comes around
I knew it soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down
Now you’re the clown
And you want me to come back home
