What Goes Around
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.
She was good, she was fine
And she made me think she was mine all mine.
Till i looked in her eyes
And i read that girl between her lies, well.
Something happened on the way to paradise,
But ev'ry heartache has its day.
And ev'ry cheatin' heart pays the price, yeah, yeah.
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
Baby, don't look back when you hear that sound.
(round and round and round)
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
And i won't be here when it all comes down on you,
It all comes back to you.
She said, "please, take my hand,
Let me lead your heart to the promised land."
But the girl had a plan,
And she left me there for another man, well.
Ev'rybody plays the fool now and then,
But no exceptions to the rule
That it all evens out in the end, yeah, yeah.
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
Baby, don't look back when you hear that sound.
(round and round and round)
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
And i won't be here when it all comes down on you,
It all comes back to you.
Something happened on the way to paradise,
But ev'ry heartache has its day.
And ev'ry cheatin' heart pays the price, yeah, yeah.
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
Baby, don't look back when you hear that sound.
(round and round and round)
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
And it won't be long till it all comes down.
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
Baby, don't look back when you hear that sound.
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
And it won't be long till it all comes down.
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
What goes around comes around,
Baby, don't look back when you hear that sound.
What goes around comes around,
And it won't be long till it all comes down.
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
(goes around, comes around, goes around)
