Baby tell me what you`re trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen - i ain`t gonna take it one more night
You`re the one who broke the rules
I`m the one who played the fool
Now you`re tryin` to tell me it`s alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You`ll never get a chance again
You`ll be...
[chorus]
...back where you started
I know you won`t admit it but you`re broken hearted
Back where you started
You think it`s gonna be easy
But it just gets harder, harder
Ooh you had a way with words
One look and i was under your spell
I didn`t know should i go or should i run
You can`t deny that you told me lies
Love `em and leave `em thats your style
I`m not afraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire i guess you`ll never learn
You mess with me babe you`re gonna get burned
[chorus]
You`ll be
Back where you started
Than you`ll know how it feels when you`ve been discarded
You`ll back where you started
You think you got it made but it won`t get you far
No it won`t get you far
Back where you started
Who`s gonna help ya
Throw you a lifetime
I`ll tell you one thing
You`ve really done it this time
You took your one chance
And let it slip away oh ya
You`re not that kind who`ll ever settle down
The rumour`s getting out all over time
You`ll be...
[chorus]
Back where you started
