What Goes Around
School Gyrls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You gonna get what you asked for
You know that right
So don't dish it cause I'll
Throw it back like dynamite

You better watch where you steppin'
Cause girl with me you can't win
No need to compete
And you know that right

Don't be tryin' to step
Where you know you shouldn't be
Cause I'm the type of girl
That you know can bring the heat

So you better step it back
Cause I don't want to interact
You don't want me to lose control

Cause if you try to get me
Then I'm-a gonna get you back
What go around come around girl
What go around come around girl

Cause if you try to get me
Then I'm-a gonna get you back
What go around come around girl
Then I'm a gonna get you back

Now I hear that you been talkin' bout me
So keep on talkin' but you gonna see
I maybe young maybe young
But I ain't playing no game
Cause you get burned
When your playing with flames

Cause if you try to get me
Then I'm-a gonna get you back




What go around come around girl
Then I'm a gonna get you back
