[Verse 1]
She was good, she was fine
And she made me think she was mine all mine
Until I looked in her eyes
And I read that girl between her lies, well
Something happened on the way to paradise
But every heartache has its day
And every cheating heart pays the price, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
Baby, don't look back when you hear that sound
(around and around and around)
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
[Verse 2]
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
Everybody plays the fool now and then
But no exceptions to the rule
That it all evens out in the end, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Something happened on the way to paradise
But every heartache has its day
And every cheating heart pays the price, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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 until 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 until it all comes down
[Bridge]
(goes around, comes around, goes around) [x12]
[Chorus]
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 until it all comes down
[Outro]
(goes around, comes around, goes around) [x3]
She was good, she was fine
And she made me think she was mine all mine
Until I looked in her eyes
And I read that girl between her lies, well
Something happened on the way to paradise
But every heartache has its day
And every cheating heart pays the price, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
What goes around (goes around)
Comes around, (comes around)
Baby, don't look back when you hear that sound
(around and around and around)
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
[Verse 2]
She said, "please, take my hand
Let me lead your heart to the promised land."

And she left me there for another man, well

Something happened on the way to paradise
But every heartache has its day
And every cheating heart pays the price, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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 until 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)
