Back Where You Started

[Verse 1] Baby, tell me what you're trying to prove Playing games with my heart Hey, now listen I ain't gonna take one more night You're the one who broke the rules And I'm the one who played the fool Now you're tryna tell me, it's alright [Pre-Chorus 1] You should have known better than to hurt a friend You'll never get another chance again [Chorus 1] You'll be back where you started I know you won't admit it But you're brokenhearted You'll be back where you started You think it's gonna be easy But it just gets harder, harder, harder, yeah [Verse 2] Ooh, you had a way with words One look and I was under your spell I didn't know, should I stay? Should I run? You can't deny that you told me lies Love 'em and leave 'em baby, that's your style I'm not afraid to take life as it comes [Pre-Chorus 2] You play with fire, guess you'll never learn You messed with me baby, going to get burned [Chorus 2] You'll be back where you started And you know how it feels When you've been discarded You'll be back where you started But you think you got it made But it won't get you far No, it won't get you far You'll be back where you started [Instrumental] [Bridge] Who's going to help ya, throw you a lifeline? I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time You took your one chance and let it slip away You never gonna let it settle down The river's gone now, all over the town [Chorus 1] You'll be back where you started I know you won't admit it But you're brokenhearted You'll be back where you started You think it's gonna be easy But it just gets harder [Outro] You'll be back where you started And you know how it feels When you've been discarded You'll be back where you started You'll be back where you started You'll be back where you started You'll be back where you started
