The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What goes around, comes around
I've had my eyes on you
For three long years
When no one 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
Oh baby, what goes around, comes around
I knew he'd soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down, now you're the clown
And you want me to come back home
I've had no love affairs
For three long years
Remember how 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 cruel
This is the moment of truth for you
Do you think your playing is through?
I don't think I can trust you
Oh baby, what goes around, comes around
I knew he'd soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down, now you're the clown
And you want me to come back home?
What goes around, comes around
He put you down, now you're the clown
I've had my eyes on you
For three long years
When no one else wanted you
I took you in and held you near
Yeah, yeah baby, what goes around, comes around
I knew he'd soon be gone
Na, na, baby, he put you down, now you're the clown
And you want me to come back home?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What goes around, comes around
He put you down, now you're the clown
Yeah, yeah baby, what goes around, comes around
He put you down, now you're the clown
