Back Where You Started - 2022 Remaster

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
But I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're trying to tell me it's alright

You should know better than to hurt a friend
You'll never get another chance again

You'll be back where you started
I know you won't admit it, but you're broken-hearted
You'll be back where you started
You think it's gonna be easy, but it just gets harder, harder, harder, yeah (whoo)

Ooh, you had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didn't know, should I stay or should I run?
You can't deny that you told me lies
You love 'em and leave 'em, baby, that's your style
I'm not afraid to take life as it comes

Oh
You play with fire, I guess you'll never learn
You mess with me, babe, you're gonna get burned

You'll be back where you started
And you know how it feels when you've been discarded
And 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 (whoa)

Who's gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime?
I'll tell you one thing, you've really done, it's this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away
You never gonna ever settle down
The river's gone now all over the town

You'll be back where you started
I know you won't admit it, but you're broken-hearted
You'll be back where you started
You think it's going to be easy, but it just gets harder
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
Ah-ah, ahh!

Back where you started
You're just getting started

Because I love you
Oh, no
You don't know 'bout it
Oh, no!
You gon' see it'll get you back where you started
