Uh-uh, yeah, yeah-eh, yeah-eh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
(I guess your mama never told you–)
(That what goes around comes back around)
I should've left it at: How ya doin'?
I should've left it at: I like your music, too and–
I should've never called you back when you pursued me
I should've never given you my fuckin' two-way
I should've never listened to your woeful stories
The ones I'm sure you told a thousand times before me
You should've never intimated we were lovers
When you knew very well we never even touched each other
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and–
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out?
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over–
When the star of the show isn't you anymore?
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(I guess your mama never told you–)
(That what goes around comes back around)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(I guess your mama never told you)
(That what goes around comes back around)
I gotta break it to ya delicately, darling
Takin' my G5 twenty minutes wasn't nothin'
But I guess you wouldn't know that's the way I roll
Consequently, now, your ego's fully overblown
You don't want the world to know that you're just a puppet show
And the little boy inside often sits at home alone and cries, cries, cries, cries
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and–
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out? (When the bank runs out)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over (oh, oh, oh) –
When the star of the show isn't you anymore?
Your pain is so deep-rooted
What will your life become?
Sure, you'll hide it, but you're lost and lonesome
Still just a frail, shook one, hmm
(Tell me, who's gonna love you? Oh, I'd like to know)
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and–
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out?
(If you didn't have nothin'–who?)
Who's gonna care, when the novelty's over–
(Who will be there? Nobody, nobody, nobody)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore?
(Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
(Oh, oh, there ain't nobody, baby)
(Bullies in the school yard, when they fall, they fall hard)
(I guess your mama never told you–)
(That what goes around comes back around)
(Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
(I guess your mama never told you–)
(That what goes around comes back around)
(Yeah, so, you better think twice, better play nice)
('Cause who's gonna be there when the joke's on you?)
(Who's gonna love you, when it all falls down?)
(Who's gonna love you, when your bankroll runs out?)
A marionette show (who's gonna care when the novelty's over?)
Who's makin' your move, boy?
(When the star of the show isn't you anymore)
I know what kills you slow
(Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
I'm gonna keep your little secret, though, hmm
(I guess your mama never told you–)
(That what goes around comes back around)
And you know that I know you're no superhero
(Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
(I guess your mama never told you–)
(That what goes around comes back around)
(Hehehe, pow)
