Boomerang
Marcus Miller Raphael Saadiq Lyrics

You're a taker, baby, takin' but never givin'
You only take from others and never give anything in return.

You better be careful, baby, ooh, 'bout how you're livin'
You need to be cautious about your lifestyle and behavior.

See love don't like when you break hearts like that
Love dislikes it when you hurt others emotionally.

(Just like a boomerang) just like a boomerang, it's gonna come right back, oh
Just like how a boomerang comes back to the person who threw it, the consequences of your actions will come back to you.

Now when you get through stompin' on my heart like that
When you're done hurting me emotionally in that way.

Keep your eyes open baby, ooh, you better watch your back
Be careful because someone might do the same thing to you.

'Cause love will turn around and do the same damn thing to you
Love will eventually make you experience the same hurt you've caused others.

Oh I love you baby
I have feelings for you.

You got me hangin' on a string
You have emotional control over me.

Tear out my heart and throw it down, what goes around comes around (when you live like that)
If you continue to live by hurting others, you'll eventually get hurt too, just like how I'm feeling now.

(When you live like that) when you hurt me like you do
When you keep hurting me emotionally.

(Just like a boomerang) just like a boomerang, it's gonna come back to you, yeah
Just like how a boomerang comes back to the person who threw it, the consequences of your actions will come back to you.

Listen to what I'm saying
Pay attention to my words.

Tear out my heart and throw it down, as long as my feet is on the ground
Even though you've hurt me emotionally, I'm still standing strong.

I'll be alright, can't keep me down
I'll be okay and won't let your actions bring me down.

Ain't nobody love you
No one else loves you.

You had one so special
You had someone who loved you very much.
