Baby tell me what you're tryin' to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen - I ain't gonna take it one more night
You're the one who broke the rules
I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're tryin' to tell me it's alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You'll never get another chance again
You'll be...

Chorus:
Back where you started
I know you won't admit it but you're broken hearted
Back where you started
You think it's gonna be easy
But it just gets harder, harder

Ooh you had a way with words
one look and i was under your spell
I didn't know should i stay or should I run
You can't deny that you told melies
Love 'em and leave 'em baby, that's your style
I'm not afraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess you'll never learn
you mess with me babe you're gonna get burned

Chorus:
...

You'll be
back where you started
than you'll know how it feels when you've been discarded
You'll be back where you started
You think you got it made but it won't get you far
No it won't get you far
Back where you started

Who's gonna 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 oh ya

You're not the kind who'll ever settle down
the rumour's getting out all over time
You'll be...

Chorus:
...

Back where you started
