Teddy Pendergrass - Life Is a Circle Lyrics

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

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, 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
Is coming back to you
Lies that you tell
Gon' make you live in hell
Y'all, help me sing
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 got to treat everybody like you treat yourself
You can't love nobody until you love yourself

See, 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, come on
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop, da doop da
Oh, oh

Oh, 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 gotta treat people like you treat yourself
You can't respect nobody until you respect yourself, see

I'm trying to tell you that the evil that you do, that you do
Is coming back to you
Lies that you tell
Gon' make you live in hell
Would y'all help me say
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop, da doop da

Well, 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
Oh yeah
Oh, well
Oh, well, well
Well
It ain't right, it ain't right
Tell you it ain't right, tell you it ain't right
Oh

When you tell a lie, everyday it grows and grows
You can't keep it a secret, 'cause on your face it shows
You better do right, better do right, better do right, better do right
You see, ain't no pain in goodness, the say it ain't no pain in goodness
You better do right, you got to do right
Better do right
Everything I tell you, believe me that it's true
What you do to other people, its got to come back to you
Oh
You better do right
Better do right
Trying, I'm trying to tell you
You better do right
Just try it, try it
Alright, if you do right
Alright
Here we go
Oh yeah
