[Intro]
What goes around comes back around, hey (My baby)
What goes around comes back around, hey (My, my, my baby)
I say, what goes around comes back around, hey, hey (My baby)
What goes around comes back around

[Verse 1]
There was a time I thought
That you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy, I must've been out of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I, I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it, I thank God I dodged the bullet, uh
I'm so over you, so baby, good lookin' out

[Chorus]
I wanted you bad, I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly, you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had
Oh, yeah, I bet it sucks to be you right now

[Verse 2]
So sad, uh, you're hurt, boo-hoo
Oh, did you expect me to care?
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
