What goes around, comes back around, hey (my baby)
What goes around, comes back around, (my) hey (my baby)
I say, what goes around, comes back around, hey (my baby)
What goes around, comes back around

So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I, I saw the real you
I thank God, I dodged the bullet
So, baby, good lookin' out

'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

It's time to face the facts that I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time
Another world, another life
Thank God, I found the good in goodbye
