Weren't you the one that said, that you don't want me anymore.
And how you need your space, and give the keys back to your door.
And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me.
But still you said that love was gone, and that I had to leave.
Now you, talkin bout a family
Now you, sayin I complete your dream
Now you, sayin I'm your everything
You confusin me
What you say to me
Don't play with me
Don't play with me.
Cause what goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me
What goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Now who's cryin, desirin to come back
I remember when
I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you
Til 3 o'clock in the morn
And when you came home, you'd always have some sorry excuse.
And explainin to me, like I'm just some kind of a fool
I sacrifice the things I want to and do things for you
But when it's time to do for me, you never come through
Now you, wanna be up under me (eyyy)
Now you, have so much to say to me (heyy)
Now you, wanna make time for me
What you do to me.
You confusin me
Don't play with me
Don't play with me.
Cause what goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me
What goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Now who's cryin, desirin to come back
I remember when
I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you
Til 3 o'clock in the morn
Night after night
Knowin something goin on
Wasn't long before I be gggone
Lord knows it wasn't easy, believe me.
Never thought you'd be the one that would deceived me.
And never do wha u was supposed to do
No need to approach me boo, cause I'm ova you
Cause what goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me
What goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
Gotta stop tryin, to come back to me
What goes around, comes around.
What goes up, must come down.
It's called Karma baby.
And it goes around.
Alicia Keys于1981年1月25日出生在美国纽约市市区的黑人住宅区，原名Alicia Augello Cook。自幼Alicia Augello Cook就展现出了非常高的音乐天赋，早在她仅仅有五岁的时候就已经成为了当地教堂唱诗班的主要演唱者，并且在这之后以唱诗班核心的身份成功进入曼哈顿的职业表演艺术学校(Professional Performance Arts School)进一步的锻炼自己的演唱功力，在这所学校内，天分极高的Alicia Keys很快就成为了老师的爱徒，这里的学习为她日后的成功打下了坚实的基础。在学校里，Alicia Keys接受了非常严格但是相当传统的钢琴训练课，长达七年的钢琴训练，增加了Alicia Keys的器乐演奏能力。14岁的时候，Alicia Keys开始尝试着自己创作歌曲，并且自己使用钢琴演奏，结果她所创作的一些单曲相当受欢迎。15岁的时候，Alicia Keys开始在多部电影的原声大碟中露面，其中包括威尔-史密斯和汤米-李-琼斯主演的卖座电影《黑衣人(Men in Black)》原声中的《Dah Dee Dah (Sexy Thing)》以及电影《Shaft》等。崭露头角的Alicia Keys开始引起了各大唱片公司的注意，但是16岁的Alicia Keys在从学校里毕业之后就和大多数同龄人一样进入了哥伦比亚大学(Columbia University)进修，不过最终由于自己对音乐方面的热情，而从哥伦比亚大学退学，专心从事音乐发展。
1998年，各大唱片公司为了争夺年仅17岁但已名声鹊起的Alicia Keys而展开了激烈的签约争夺战，最终Alicia Keys跟随Clive Davis加盟了Arista Records唱片公司。1999年，Clive Davis离开了Arista Records唱片公司创立了J-Records唱片公司，Alicia Keys也随着他加盟了J-Records，并且在此开始了自己辉煌的音乐历程。Clive Davis这位曾经在音乐界提拔过Carlos Santana和Whitney Houston的王牌商人，这次又选中了Alicia Keys，他为Alicia Keys事业的发展做出了极其重要的作用。Clive Davis首先安排Alicia Keys在美国各大音乐电视台上露脸，特别是主要的音乐电视台，这为Alicia Keys的新专辑发行做了良好的铺垫。在新专辑的录制中，Alicia Keys和著名的制作人Jermaine Dupri以及灵魂乐前辈Isaac Hayes等人合作，确保了专辑制作的实力，也能够保证在音乐风格上不仅反映出Alicia Keys的音乐风格，而且能够表现出传统的灵魂乐的特点，不至于令歌迷难以接受，确保了专辑中音乐的号召力。2001年夏天，随着单曲《Fallin'》的打榜成功，Alicia Keys的首张个人专辑《Songs in A Minor》正式发行，专辑上市之后果然没有让任何人失望，上市第一天就卖出了5万张，首周之后顺利的成为了Billboard 200排行榜的冠军，并且在这之后获得了媒体和评论界的一致好评，最终销量突破五百万张。在2002年初举行的第44届格莱美颁奖典礼上，Alicia Keys成为了最大的赢家，不仅获得了最佳新人奖(Best New Artist)，而且凭借单曲《Fallin'》获得了年度最佳单曲(Song Of The Year)、最佳R&B女歌手(Best Female R&B Vocal Performance)和最佳R&B歌曲奖(Best R&B Song)，专辑《Songs In A Minor》也获得了最佳R&B专辑奖(Best R&B Album)。独揽五项格莱美大奖的Alicia Keys成为了无可争议的顶级R&B女歌星，随后专辑《Songs In A Minor》也在世界各个国家再版发行。2003年12月2日，Alicia Keys的第二张个人专辑《Diary of Alicia Keys》正式发行
