lyrics

There is a thing called payback
Or call it time’s correction
I’ve felt a gift for payback
More times than I can mention
It’s a gift that I don’t question
In case it may desert me
To dish out without effort
Revenge on those who’ve hurt me

What goes around comes around
I sang as you passed me on the way down
What goes around comes around
Never knew what they meant by it until now
What goes around comes around

I got strung along for your pleasure
When I was young and green
But you’re old enough to know better
Now round two goes to me

And it’s not a sensation I treasure
No, gloating would be in poor taste
To watch you repent at your leisure
No trace of a smile on my face

There is a thing called payback
Though some would term it karma
If you commit a cruel act
You’ll suffer sometime after
And from the smack of payback
Nobody is immune
I’d be lying if I claimed that
I haven’t felt it too

What goes around comes around
You sang as I passed you on the way down
What goes around comes around
Never knew what they meant by it until now
What goes around comes around
It’s a lesson that everyone should take down
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
