[Verse 1: Frankie Beverly]
Do you know everything you do
Has a reaction in kind
What you give is what you get
Since the beginning of time
If you hurt someone, it's fair to say
Sooner or later it's coming back your way
You can't play games without any risk
Better beware, and remember this

[Chorus: Maze]
What goes up must come down
The things you do comes back around
I know 'cause I found
What goes up must come down

[Bridge: Frankie Beverly]
Ain't nobody can escape it
No matter what, you might as well face it
I can't imitate
All life is what you make it
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, listen

[Verse 2: Frankie Beverly]
Now, some people hate and they wonder why
Things are not better today
Well, people get what they deserve
Most of the time anyway, yeah, yeah
Sometimes you win, but you could lose
That's alright, you can't change the rules
If it ain't one thing it's gonna be two
As long as you live and you know it's true
[Chorus: Maze, Frankie Beverly]
What goes up must come down
(Oh, talk to me right now)
The things you do comes back around
I know cause I found
(I found out that)
What goes up must come down

[Bridge: Frankie Beverly]
Like the sunshine turn to night
Sometimes you're wrong, sometimes you're right
Let there be no doubt
Ooh, it'll all work out
Come on
You got to know what you're doing
Got to know what you're doing

[Outro: Maze, Frankie Beverly]
What goes up must come down
The things you do comes back around
(Gonna be round and round and round)
I know, 'cause I found
(I know what I'm talking about)
What goes up must come down
(I know, I know, I know)
What goes up must come down
(You better believe it)
The things you do comes back around
(Round and round it goes)
I know, 'cause I found
What goes up must come down
What goes up must come down
The things you do comes back around
I know, 'cause I found
What goes up must come down
What goes up must come down
