Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I gave you the world (world)
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you, babe (babe)
Me and you until the end
Don't want to think about it (uh)
Don't want to talk about it (uh)
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it (uh)
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
But tell me, is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should have known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's okay, baby, 'cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around, yeah
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now (on now)
And maybe I should do the same (maybe I should do the same)
The funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, baby (baby)
And now it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong, yeah
Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it (huh)

Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it (uh)

And now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's ok, baby, 'cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around

Let me paint this picture for you, baby (yo, yo) (uh)
You spend your nights alone and he never comes home
And every time you call him all you get is a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you what you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes
When you cheated, girl
My heart bleeded, girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case scenario
Tale as old as time girl, you got what you deserved
And now you want somebody to cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody that could come and make it right
But girl, I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
See, see (uh)
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey (hey)
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey (hey)
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey (hey)
(Ha, what goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey (hey)
Take it to him
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Take it to him
See (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
You should have listened to me, baby
Take it to him
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey) Take it to him
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Uh
Hey girl
Because what goes around comes back around
Ooh
"What Goes Around" is a song by Esmee Denters featuring Justin Timberlake. The lyrics of the song talk about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is wondering what he did wrong as he believed that he had given his girlfriend the world. He is shocked that she has left him and tries to rationalize why it happened. He is confused and heartbroken that his relationship has come to an end. In the latter part of the song, JT learns that his ex-girlfriend is now dating someone who is treating her the same way that she treated him. He tells her that what goes around comes back around.
The song gives several messages about failed relationships. It acknowledges that sometimes, things don't go as planned and to try to make sense of the situation. It also teaches the lesson of karma, with the hope that in time, people who have been wronged will see justice. What goes around comes back around serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences.

Let me explain the situation to you
You spend your nights alone and he never comes home
Your new partner is never around
And every time you call him all you get is a busy tone
He doesn't answer your calls
I heard you found out
I heard you discovered
That he's doing to you what you did to me
He's cheating on you, just like you cheated on me
Ain't that the way it goes
Isn't that just life?
When you cheated, girl
When you were unfaithful to me
My heart bleeded, girl
I was very hurt
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
It's obvious that you caused me pain
Just a classic case scenario
It's a common situation
Tale as old as time girl, you got what you deserved
You got what was coming to you
And now you want somebody to cure the lonely nights
You want someone to cure your loneliness
You wish you had somebody that could come and make it right
You wish you had someone to fix your problems
But girl, I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
I don't have a lot of compassion for you
See, see (uh)
You see
(What goes around comes back around)
You will face the consequences of your actions
I thought I told ya, hey (hey)
I warned you about this
(Ha, what goes around comes back around)
Your actions will come back to haunt you
Take it to him
Tell this to your new partner
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey
See (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
You see
You should have listened to me, baby
You should have heeded my warning

Tell this to your new partner
