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 got to take one more night You're the one who broke the rules An' I'm the one who played the fool Now you're trying to tell me, it's alright 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 going to be easy But it just gets harder, harder, harder, yeah [Verse 2] You had a way with words One look an' 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 an' leave 'em baby, that's your style I'm not afraid to take life as it comes 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 An' 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 [Verse 3] 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 an' let it slip away You never going to 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 going to be easy But it just gets harder [Outro] You'll be back where you started An' you know how it feels When you've been discarded You'll be back where you started [4x]
