Lyrics
It was a real fine day, just minding my business
The sun was lifting my feet up
I couldn't get higher than this
I was feeling on fire today
But that's all changed
The second I turned my back, they started talking
If they don't want something back, they better stop their talking
I was going full speed ahead, I was steady on my path
'Til I had to slam on my breaks, what's this?
I can't believe my ears
Whispers and rumors coming from the other side of the tracks
The second I turned my back, they started talking
If they don't want something back, they better start walking
I guess maturity is not always defined by age
Some people never grow up
In this world I've learned you gotta give love to get love
So go on and talk all the trash you want 'cuz that's what you'll get back
It's called karma
I'll be looking forward to that
The second I turned my back, they started talking
If they don't want something back, they better stop their talking
The second I turned my back, they started talking
If they don't want something back, they better stop their talking
The second I turned my back, they started talking
If they don't want something back, they better start walking
