Woman is strange
Cho caan believe dis
How come you tell me that you love me then you run away
And if you love me why you listening to hearsay
Cause in the night you pack you things and mek you getaway
And if you neva love me shoud a tell me right away
You neva hi me when me rapsa up de next day
Like a piece a furniture you lef me pon de lay-a-way
You got me roun' de block me waan fi know wha you a seh
Mi naah go deal wid it your way
Wid all de latin music a play
Di dinin' and di violin and le le
Mi nah go siddun and listen
Cause I know you gonna have to make a 360 turn
All that standing on your own
Make sure no bridge nah burn
Either you like it or leave it

Set speed when it come to trigonometry
Right yah now and dis between de whole a we
Yes me know enough fi know when gal a swing me
And me no really waan fi put you under pressure
Mi haf fi sure seh you runnin' days are over
An you come stan up long side me like soldier
And give up dat wid some better behavior
Mi naah go deal wid it your way
Wid all de latin music a play
Di winin' and di dinin an you le le

If mi know you a go missin
Make a 360 turn
Or stay on your own

How come you tell me that you love me then you run away
And if you love me why you listening to hearsay
Cause in the night you pack you things and mek you getaway
And if you neva love me shoud a tell me right away
Cause me vibes neva irie me de nex day

Hold your debt on your own
In Beres Hammond's song "360 Turn," the singer is expressing his confusion and frustration towards a woman who claimed to love him but then suddenly left him. He questions why she would listen to hearsay and pack up and leave in the middle of the night, leaving him feeling like a piece of furniture on layaway. The singer is not willing to deal with her in her own way with all the Latin music and wining going on; instead, he wants her to make a 360 turn and hold her debt on her own.
The song's lyrics are emblematic of the Jamaican roots reggae genre, which typically discusses issues of love, social justice, peace, and unity. The unknown woman's behavior reflects a cycle of hurt and betrayal, which the singer feels keenly. He is not willing to enable her further and wants her to be accountable for her actions. The chorus encourages her to turn around, come back home, or face the consequences of her actions, hold her debt on her own, and either like it or leave it.
