Lyrics
[Intro]
Come on
Weren't you?
[Verse 1]
Weren't you the one who said that you don't want me anymore
And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door
And how I cry and tried and tried to make you stay with me?
But still you said the love was gone and that I had to leave
[PreChorus]
Now you
Talking about a family
Now you
Saying I complete your dream
Now you
Saying I'm your everything
You're confusing me, what you're saying to me
Don't play with me, don't play with me 'cause
[Chorus]
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me?
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back?
[Refrain]
I remember when I was sitting home alone
Waiting for you
Till 3 o'clock in the morn'
[Verse 2]
And when you came home, you'd always have some sorry excuse
And explaining to me like I was some kind of a fool
I sacrifice the things I want just to do things for you
But when it's time to do for me
You never come through
[PreChorus]
Now you
Wanna be a part of me
Now you
Have so much to say to me
Now you
Wanna make time for me
What you doing to me, you're confusing me
Don't play with me, don't play with me 'cause
[Chorus]
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me?
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back?
[Refrain]
I remember when I was sitting home alone
Waiting for you
Till 3 o'clock in the morn'
[Bridge]
Night after night, knowing something's going on
Wasn't long before I be go-a-go-a-gone
Lord knows it wasn't easy, believe me
Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me
And never do what you supposed to do
No need to 'proach me, fool, 'cause I'm over you 'cause
[Chorus]
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me?
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Gotta stop trying to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
It's called karma, baby
And it goes around
[Chorus]
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me?
