What goes around comes back around (hey, my baby)
What goes around comes back around (my baby, my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey, my baby)
What goes around comes back around
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy, I must've been outta my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed you ass and I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So, baby, good lookin' out
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with it
'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)
I bet it sucks to be you right now
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 you ass and I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So, baby, good lookin' out
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with it
'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)
And I'll never be the (best thing I never had)
Oh, baby, I bet sucks to be you right now
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
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)
You turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
And I will always be the (best thing you never had)
Oh, best thing you never had
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)
Oh, I will never be the best thing you never had
Oh, baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around comes back around
What goes around comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
