[Intro]
Mmm, uh-huh, mmm
Oooh
Hey, whoa, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

[Verse 1]
You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but did not know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other

[Chorus]
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wi--
Someday, hey, hey
Boy, you're going to pay 'cause, baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

[Verse 2]
You'll change your mind and call my name
As soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying, you shoulda have known
Believe me, I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict this ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others

[Chorus]
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wi--
Someday, yes, hey, hey
Boy, you're going to pay 'cause, baby, I'm the one who's keeping score
So, yes
Oooh, yes
Gonna be the woman
Boy, you're going to pay 'cause, baby, I'm the one who's keeping score

[Bridge]
No, no
Hey
Ooh
Just think again because I won't need your love anymore

[Chorus]
Someday
Someday, ooh, someday
Someday, someday
Yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
You're gonna be wishing for me
Oh, for me, for me, for me, for me, for me, yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Hey baby
Whooo
Someday, someday, some-some-someday
Hoo
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday

[Outro]
You're gonna be wishing for me
Hoo, yeah
You're gonna be wishing for me
Hee
You're gonna be wishing for me

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
