I left you, oh, Lord have mercy Without saving a dime Five little hungry babies All in one room, crying I thought I was so hip (a big man) A big man out in the world, yeah I thought there was only Two things in life to love for A new car and big, fine girl But I've had them both Ooh, Lord, that's no joke I had plenty of money in my pocket Lord, when I used to always be broke But I can't forget words my baby said She said, what goes up I know, one day has got to come down Yeah, she said what goes around Sure comes around, mm What goes up I know, one day has got to come down Lord, have mercy Now, bad luck has turned on me I lost everything I had No one has no sympathy for me Ooh, they all glad to see me doing bad I'm right back where I started In my pocket, I don't have a dime Girl, I know I failed that day When I left you and the babies In that one room, crying A voice came to me It came out of nowhere It said, go home Go on back home, boy I know there's somewhere there That she'll care But I can't forget The words my baby said She said, what goes up I know, one day has got to come down Yeah, she said what goes around Sure comes around, she said What goes up I know, one day has got to come down Then she said, what goes around Sure comes around, mmm What goes up, you just watch and see Don't it come back down You got to reap just what you sow What goes up, Lord, have mercy Got to come back down What goes around, sure comes around What goes around, sure comes around
