Justin Timberlake – What Goes Around.../...Comes Around lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you, baby
Me and you until the end but I guess I was wrong

[Pre-Hook]
Don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's endin' this way
Just so confused about it
Feelin' the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me, is this fair?

[Hook]
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breakin' my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're livin' a lie
That's okay, baby, 'cause in time you will find

[Chorus]
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

[Verse 2]
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were movin' on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, baby
And now it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

[Pre-Hook]
Don't wanna think about it (no)
Don't wanna talk about it (hm)
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's endin' this way
Just so confused about it (uh)
Feelin' the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me, is this fair?

[Hook]
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
(Should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
Now it's breakin' my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're livin' a lie
That's okay, baby, 'cause in time you will find

[Chorus]
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

[Bridge]
What goes around comes around, yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around, yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that (yeah)

[Pre-Hook]
Don't wanna think about it (no)
Don't wanna talk about it (hm)
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's endin' this way
Just so confused about it (uh)
Feelin' the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Tell me, is this fair?

[Hook]
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
(Should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
It's breakin' my heart to watch you run around
(Now it's breakin' my heart)
'Cause I know that you're livin' a lie
That's okay, baby, 'cause in time you will find

[Chorus]
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

[Interlude]

[Intro]
Yup, yup, yup, yup
Let me paint this picture for you, baby

[Verse]
You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doin' to you what you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes
When you cheated, girl
My heart bleeded, girl
So it goes without sayin' that you left me feelin' hurt
Just a classic case, a scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl, you got what you deserved

[Bridge]
And now you want somebody (hey)
To cure the lonely nights (hey)
You wish you had somebody (hey)
That could come and make it right (hey)
But girl, I ain't somebody (hey)
With a lot of sympathy (hey)
You'll see—

[Chorus]
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

[Outro]
See, you should have listened to me, baby
Because (what goes around comes back around)
