The evil that you do
Is coming back to you
The lies that you told
Will put a mark on your self

It's alright
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da

You can't go around taking advantage of people
It ain't right, oh no, it ain't right, no, no, it ain't right
Say you've got to treat people like you treat yourself
You can't respect nobody until you respect yourself

I'm trying to tell you that the evil that you do
Is coming back to you
The lies that you tell
Are gonna make you live in hell
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop, da doop da

If you just aim fair
You'll get more out of people
You'll be rewarded with love
Sweet love, rewarded with love
Say you've got to treat everybody like you treat yourself
You can't love nobody until you love yourself

I'm trying to tell you that the evil that you do, that you do
Is coming back to you
If you lied along
If you do good or harm
It's alright
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop, da doop da

Life ain't nothing but a circle
It's going round and round and round
Oh, life ain't nothing but a circle
It's going round and around and around and around
And around and around and around and around

You can't go around taking advantage of people
It ain't right, no no, it ain't right, no, no, it ain't right
Say you've got to treat people like you treat yourself
You can't respect nobody until you respect yourself

I'm trying to tell you that the evil that you do, that you do
Is coming back to you
The lies that you tell
Are gonna make you live in hell
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop, da doop da

Well, they say life ain't nothing but a circle
It's going round and round and round
Oh, life ain't nothing but a circle
It's going round and around and around and around
And around and around and around and around

The evil that you do, that you do, that you do
Is coming back to you
If they're right or wrong
If you do good or harm

It ain't right, it ain't right
I tell you it ain't right, it ain't right
When you tell a lie everyday it grows and grows
You can't keep it a secret because on your face it shows
You better do right, you better do right, better do right, better do right
Ain't no pain in goodness, the say it ain't no pain in goodness
You better do right, got to do right
Everything that I tell you believe that its true
Once you do it to other people its got to come back to you

You better do right
You better do right
You better do right
Alright, if you do right
