歌曲歌词
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
译文
嘿女孩,他就是你要的男人吗?
你知道我给了你全世界
你将我玩弄在掌心之上
所以为什幺我们的爱溜走了?
我似乎就是不明白
儘管只有你和我
但我们终究走到了尽头
而我想我错了
不愿去想它
不愿去谈论它
我已对它太伤感
不敢相信我们的爱就这样结束了
就是对它很疑惑
就是对它很伤心
我就是不能没有你
告诉我你这样做公平吗?
它真的就这样结束了吗?
我们就真的这样说再见了吗?
当你走过来的时候我应该就知道
你将会让我哭泣
你的离开撕碎了我的心
因为我知道你欺骗了你自己
但那没关係因为你终究会发现
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
现在,我记得你申明的一切
你说準备走开了
也许我也应该和你一样
可笑的事情是
我都已经準备给你我的姓氏
儘管只有你和我
而现在,一切只是个遗憾
而我想我错了
不愿去想它
不愿去谈论它
我已对它太伤感
不敢相信我们的爱就这样结束了
就是对它很疑惑
就是对它很伤心
我就是不能没有你
告诉我你这样做公平吗?
它真的就这样结束了吗?
我们就真的这样说再见了吗?
当你走过来的时候我应该就知道
要知道，你会让我哭泣
你的离开撕碎了我的心
因为我知道你欺骗了你自己
但那没关係因为你终究会发现
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因，得什幺果
耶
种什幺因，得什幺果
你应该知道
种什幺因，得什幺果
耶
种什幺因，得什幺果
你应该知道的
不愿去想它
不愿去谈论它
我已对它太伤感
不敢相信我们的爱就这样结束了
就是对它很疑惑
就是对它很伤心
我就是不能没有你
告诉我你这样做公平吗?
它真的就这样结束了吗?
我们就真的这样说再见了吗?
当你走过来的时候我应该就知道
要知道，你会让我哭泣
你的离开撕碎了我的心
因为我知道你欺骗了你自己
但那没关係因为你终究会发现
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
种什幺因
得什幺果
让我为你描述这幅画面,宝贝
你整晚都独守空房
而他从不回家
每一次你给他打电话
你得到的都是忙音
我听说你已经发现
他现在对你做的
正是你曾经对我做的
你欺骗了我女孩
我的心在流血
所以你离开了而留下我独自受伤
这只是一个老套的桥段
一个电影的剧本
一个过时的故事
而女孩你得到了你应得的
而现在你需要某人
终结这些寂寞的夜晚
你希望你身边有某人
能使这一切恢复正常
但女孩我不是个有那幺多怜悯心的人
你将会看到
种什幺因得什幺果
我想我告诉过你,嘿
种什幺因得什幺果
我想我告诉过你,嘿
种什幺因得什幺果
我想我告诉过你,嘿
种什幺因得什幺果
我想我告诉过你,嘿
看到了吗?
你应该听我的劝的,宝贝
耶耶耶耶
因为
种什幺因得什幺果
歌曲鉴赏
可以看出来《What Goes Around... Comes Around》中暗含了贾斯汀·汀布莱克与布兰妮·斯皮尔斯的关係，亲密的字元和环形的声音製作，匹配上歌词的“椭圆”属性，使旋律在脑海中挥之不去。华丽的歌曲连线和整体的清晰製作都证明了提姆巴兰不需要依靠电子设备来做出这幺惊人的录製。听它的歌词，许多人都会感受到《Cry Me A River》的身影。
