Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
I say what goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around...
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
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
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out
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 gonna' always be the (best thing you never had)
Oh yeah, I bet it sucks to be you right now
So sad, 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
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and baby yes I saw the real you
Thank God you blew itI thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over youBaby good lookin' out
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
I said, you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
And I'll never be the (best thing you never had)
Oh baby I bet sucks to be you right now
I know you want me back
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
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
Oh you turned out to be (the best thing I never had)
And I will always be the (best thing you never had)
Oh, best thing you never had
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you I don't wanna lose you,
But I don't wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
And that don't really matter
To anyone anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But there's a danger
In loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know
It's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people
Don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
(You don't have to take the fall)
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
Like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change
But there's a danger
In loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know
It's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people
Don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
And there's no way home
When it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say?
Do you feel me beside you in your bed?
There beside you, where I used to lay?
Oooh, oh, oh
Sometimes love just ain't enough
Oooh
There's a danger
In loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know
It's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people
Don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Sometimes
Baby sometimes love, just ain't enough
Oooh, oh, mmmmm, mmmm
6, 763 out to be the (best thing I never had)
Oh you turned out to be the (best thing you never had)
Oh, I'll never be the (best thing you never had)
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now...
what goes around, comes back around... (I bet it sucks to be you right now)
In Beyoncé's song "Best Thing I Never Had," she refers to a broken relationship and expresses gratitude that it didn't work out. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "What goes around, comes back around..." which is a phrase highlighting the idea of karma, and that actions and behavior have consequences. In the verses, Beyoncé mentions how, at one time, she thought the person did everything right, but eventually, their true colors were revealed, and she's now over him. The song dismisses someone from Beyoncé's past and serves as an ode to moving on.
The second verse of the song is a direct message to the ex-partner, where she tells him that she is so through with that and that he turned out to be the best thing she ever had. She explains that she doesn't want to use or hate him, but she doesn't want to be the one to cry to him. Beyoncé elaborates that sometimes she keeps losing her place, but it's because she loves somebody too much. However, loving somebody too much comes with risks, and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.
