歌曲歌詞
英文
Hey girl is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the 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
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong
Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair
Is this the way it's really going down
Is this how we say goodbye
Should've 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
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
Now girl I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you babe
And now it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong
Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair
Is this the way it's really going down
Is this how we say goodbye
Should've known better when you came around
（should've known better that you were gonna make me cry）
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
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
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
Don't want to think about it （no）
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it （yeah）
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair
Is this the way it's really going down
Is this how we say goodbye
Should've known better when you came around
（should've known better that you were gonna make me cry）
That you were going to make me cry
Now 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
Comes Around interlude:
Let me paint this picture for you baby
You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's 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
A 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
You'll see
（What goes around comes back around）
I thought I told ya hey
（What goes around comes back around）
I thought I told ya hey
（What goes around comes back around）
I thought I told ya hey
（What goes around comes back around）
I thought I told ya hey
Laughs
See
You should've listened to me baby
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Because
（What goes around comes back around）
Laughs
譯文
嘿女孩,他就是你要的男人嗎?
你知道我給了你全世界
你將我玩弄在掌心之上
所以為什麼我們的愛溜走了?
我似乎就是不明白
儘管只有你和我
但我們終究走到了盡頭
而我想我錯了
不願去想它
不願去談論它
我已對它太傷感
不敢相信我們的愛就這樣結束了
就是對它很疑惑
就是對它很傷心
我就是不能沒有你
告訴我你這樣做公平嗎?
它真的就這樣結束了嗎?
我們就真的這樣說再見了嗎?
當你走過來的時候我應該就知道
你將會讓我哭泣
你的離開撕碎了我的心
因為我知道你欺騙了你自己
但那沒關係因為你終究會發現
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
現在,我記得你申明的一切
你說準備走開了
也許我也應該和你一樣
可笑的事情是
我都已經準備給你我的姓氏
儘管只有你和我
而現在,一切只是個遺憾
而我想我錯了
不願去想它
不願去談論它
我已對它太傷感
不敢相信我們的愛就這樣結束了
就是對它很疑惑
就是對它很傷心
我就是不能沒有你
告訴我你這樣做公平嗎?
它真的就這樣結束了嗎?
我們就真的這樣說再見了嗎?
當你走過來的時候我應該就知道
要知道，你會讓我哭泣
你的離開撕碎了我的心
因為我知道你欺騙了你自己
但那沒關係因為你終究會發現
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因，得什麼果
耶
種什麼因，得什麼果
你應該知道
種什麼因，得什麼果
耶
種什麼因，得什麼果
你應該知道的
不願去想它
不願去談論它
我已對它太傷感
不敢相信我們的愛就這樣結束了
就是對它很疑惑
就是對它很傷心
我就是不能沒有你
告訴我你這樣做公平嗎?
它真的就這樣結束了嗎?
我們就真的這樣說再見了嗎?
當你走過來的時候我應該就知道
要知道，你會讓我哭泣
你的離開撕碎了我的心
因為我知道你欺騙了你自己
但那沒關係因為你終究會發現
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
種什麼因
得什麼果
讓我為你描述這幅畫面,寶貝
你整晚都獨守空房
而他從不回家
每一次你給他打電話
你得到的都是忙音
我聽說你已經發現
他現在對你做的
正是你曾經對我做的
你欺騙了我女孩
我的心在流血
所以你離開了而留下我獨自受傷
這只是一個老套的橋段
一個電影的劇本
一個過時的故事
而女孩你得到了你應得的
而現在你需要某人
終結這些寂寞的夜晚
你希望你身邊有某人
能使這一切恢復正常
但女孩我不是個有那么多憐憫心的人
你將會看到
種什麼因得什麼果
我想我告訴過你,嘿
種什麼因得什麼果
我想我告訴過你,嘿
種什麼因得什麼果
我想我告訴過你,嘿
種什麼因得什麼果
我想我告訴過你,嘿
看到了嗎?
你應該聽我的勸的,寶貝
耶耶耶耶
因為
種什麼因得什麼果
歌曲鑑賞
可以看出來《What Goes Around... Comes Around》中暗含了賈斯汀·汀布萊克與布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯的關係，親密的字元和環形的聲音製作，匹配上歌詞的“橢圓”屬性，使旋律在腦海中揮之不去。華麗的歌曲連線和整體的清晰製作都證明了提姆巴蘭不需要依靠電子設備來做出這么驚人的錄製。聽它的歌詞，許多人都會感受到《Cry Me A River》的身影。
