YOU REAP JUST WHAT YOU SOW

Oh, I know it hurts
Yeah, I know it hurts
When your brand new love, up and does you dirt
Baby don't you know
Baby don't you know
You reap just what you sow

Now you know how I
Felt when you said goodbye
Now you find that it's your time to sit and cry
I told you long ago
You'd learn it as you go
You reap just what you sow

You made me sad, you hurt me bad
You broke my heart in two
And sure enough, the same old stuff
Is happening to you

I can sympathize
With the tears that's in your eyes
But I'm gonna have to say, "I told you so"
Told you long ago
When you let me go
You reap just what you sow
