Tina Turner
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 gonna take one more night
You're the one who broke the rules
And I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're tryna tell me, it's alright

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 gonna be easy
But it just gets harder, harder, harder, yeah

[Verse 2]
Ooh, you had a way with words
One look and 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 and leave 'em baby, that's your style
I'm not afraid to take life as it comes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
And 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

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
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 and let it slip away
You never gonna 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 gonna be easy
But it just gets harder
[Outro]
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
You'll be back where you started
You'll be back where you started
You'll be back where you started
