You’ll Always Reap What You Sow Lyrics

To think I knew you when you had nothing at all
And now you've got your back to the wall
It only goes to show
You'll always reap just what you sow

You had no reason for being so bad
You had the world in the palm of your hand
It only goes to show
You'll always reap just what you sow

I didn't think of vengeance
Don't forget I loved you once
And now it's turned full circle
You just won't find another chance

Look how the mighty have managed to fall
Your fancy words didn't help you at all
It only goes to show
You'll always reap just what you sow

I didn't think of vengeance
Don't forget I loved you once
And now it's turned full circle
You just won't find another chance

It only goes to show
You'll always reap just what you sow
You'll always reap just what you sow
I didn't think of vengeance
Don't forget I loved you once
And now it's turned full circle
You just won't find another chance

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
