Teddy Pendergrass - Life Is A Circle Lyrics






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

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, oh 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
The lies that you tell
Are gonna make you live in hell
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've got to treat everybody like you treat yourself
You can't love nobody until you love yourself

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
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop, da doop da

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'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, that you do
Is coming back to you
The lies that you tell
Are gonna make you live in hell
Shoo doop da, shoo doop da doop da
Shoo doop da, shoo doop, da doop da

Well, they 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

It ain't right, it ain't right
I tell you it ain't right, it ain't right
When you tell a lie everyday it grows and grows
You can't keep it a secret because on your face it shows
You better do right, you better do right, better do right, better do right
Ain't no pain in goodness, the say it ain't no pain in goodness
You better do right, got to do right
Everything that I tell you believe that its true
Once you do it to other people its got to come back to you

You better do right
You better do right
You better do right
Alright, if you do right

  1. D.... A....

    RESPECT YOURSELF,

    CAUSE WHEN YOU TELL A LIE

    IT'S GROWS & GROWS UNDER YOUR
    SECRET, AND EVERYDAY IT GROWS

    AND GROWS, YOU BETTER DO RIGHT

  2. D.... A....

    MICHAEL/CHUCK JACKSON
    THIS ONE'S FOR YOU

    THE EVIL, THAT YOU DO IS COMING BACK TO YOU,

    THE LIE THAT YOU TOLD HAS PUT A MARK ON YOUR SOUL,

    YOU CAN'T GO AROUND TAKING
    ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE,

    IT AIN'T RIGHT, IT AIN'T RIGHT
    NO, NO IT AIN'T RIGHT etc.

    WHEN YOU TELL A LIE, BELIEVE
    WHAT YOU DO TO OTHER PEOPLE,

    IT'S GONNA COME BACK TO YOU,

    IT AIN'T RIGHT NO, NO IT AIN'T RIGHT

    CAUSE WHAT YOU DO TO OTHER
    PEOPLE IT'S GOT TO COME BACK
    TO YOU,

    WHEN YOU TELL A LIE, EACH DAY IT GROWS, AND GROW,

    CAUSE WHAT YOU DO TO OTHER PEOPLE IT'S GOT TO COME BACK TO YOU

    YOU BETTER DO RIGHT (REPEAT)

  3. D.... A....

    THIS A GREAT SONG & LYRICS IS A VERY POWERFUL

    MESSAGE & IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THIS MIGHT
    BE MC FADDEN & WHITEHEAD OR
    GAMBLE & HUFF OUT OF
    PHILADELPHIA PA BUT

    NEVERTHELESS THIS SONG
    WAS PLAYED FOR ME & GIVEN FOR A LESSON 2B
    LEARNED BY MY NANA

    AND WHAT I APPRECIATED
    MOST WAS THE FACT THAT
    SHE MADE THE EFFORT TO

    TEACH ME OUT OF LOVE
    AND RESPECT WHAT I NEEDED TO DO & WHAT I

    HAD FAILED TO DO FOR THOSE THAT MADE AN EFFORT TO REACH OUT TO HELP ME & UNLIKE SO MANY

    PEOPLE THEY WILL LIE ABUSE & ABUSE YOU TO THE MAX & ESPECIALLY IF THEY

    SEE YOU BEING MILD & MEEK TO EASY TO RUN GAME ON
    THEM, OR LIKE THIS OLD

    SO-CALLED FRIEND WHOSE DECEASE NOW, YOU FIND A FOOL, YOU USE THEM TO YOUR ADVANTAGE,

    NOW MY POINT IS THAT OCCASIONALLY OFF & ON
    HAD TO LEARN TOO MANY

    HARDCORE ABOUT LIFE IN
    GENERAL & WHAT IT MEANS

    TO KNOW & TO REALLY BE ABLE UNDERSTAND FROM THE NATURE OF GOD'S

    WORD IN THEM BIBLE ABOUT A FRIEND MOST
    ARE CLOSE TO US WHEN

    THINK WE TRUST WITH SO VITAL & THAT'S BEEN CLOSE TO THEM FOR MANY YEARS

    UNTIL ONE DAY THEY REALIZE THAT YOU AS A CLOSE FRIEND FOR SO LONG
    MAY REVEALED SOMETHING
    TO SOMEONE ABOUT YOU
    AND BEFORE YOU KNOW

    "THE WHOLE TOWN IS TALKING ABOUT ME, & YOU"
    AND NOW AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE HURT & FULL OF ANGER & FRUSTRATIONS








    NOW WHAT IS MOST
    IMPORTANT IN ANY SONG OR A BOOK THAT I'VE READ

  4. R.... M....

    You can't respect anybody until you Respect Yourself! AMEN!

  5. D.... A....

    THIS SONG BARES REPEATING A VITAL MESSAGE & SONG THAT GOT VERY LITTLE AIR PLAY OVER THE AIRWAYS

  6. D.... T....

    THERE'S ALWAYS A BLESSING IN EVERY LIFE LEARNED LESSON AND THE TITLE OF ONE OF MY POEMS

  7. D.... T....

    TEDDY PENDERGRASS  SINGS THIS SONG WITH TRUTH AND CONVICTIONYES THIS IS THE REAL DEAL

  8. D.... T....

    THIS IS A GREAT SONG THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW TEDDY PENDERGRASS MADE AND IT NEVER GOT THE AIR TIME FOR PLAY TIME, AND QUIET AS IT'S KEPT THIS IS JUST THE WAY THE DEVIL OPERATES TO MISLED ALL OF GOD'SCHILDREN FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, GREAT JOB WELL DONE, & TO WHOMEVER WROTE AND PRODUCED THIS SONG AND MUSIC,..........R.I.P.
