[Verse 1]
So you're trying to get over your new love affair
I heard it nearly took you away from here
Believe me when I tell you I know how you feel
'Cause I've been there myself a time or two
I remember like it was yesterday
You kissed our love goodbye and simply walked away
And although I'm not the kind to say, "I told you so" (I told you so)
But if there is one thing that I found

[Chorus]
Is what goes around comes around (Comes around)
It comes around
It comes around

[Verse 2]
Now the world you living in is a lonely place
And you just drop by in search of an old friendly face
Someone who does not socialize in outer space
Someone who loved you once upon a time
But times have changed and things are very different now (No, things are not the same)
Yet I hold no grudge against you in my heart somehow
And I hate to see this agony you're going through
All the evidence is sound

[Chorus]
That what goes around
It comes around, my baby, yeah (Comes around)
What goes around (Comes around)
Oh, my baby, yeah
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Times have changed and things are very different now (No, things are not the same)
Yet I hold no grudge against you in my heart somehow (My heart)
And I hate to see this agony you're going through
All the evidence is sound

[Chorus]
That what goes around
It's gonna come back around, my baby, yeah (Comes around)
You hurt me, boy, yes you did
You better watch your back, boy (Comes around)
You better watch your back, baby
'Cause something or someone is gonna smack you down (Comes around)
And I'll be standing here laughing (Comes around)
Laughing and singing this song again to you, baby, yeah
'Cause you know and I know what goes around comes around (Comes around)
You better watch your back, boy
'Cause what goes around comes around (Comes around)
