[Intro]
 CKeep rockin'D, and keep knockin'G, whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
 CYou see the hate that they're Dservin' on a platter, so Emwhat we gon' have dessert or disaster
[Verse] 
 CI never thought I'd    Dbe in love like Gthis
 When I Clook at you my Dmind goes on a Emtrip
 Then you Ccame in, and Dknocked me on my Gface 
 Feels like I'm in a Crace, but I Dalready won first Emplace
 CI never thought I'd Dfall for you as hard as I Gdid (As hard as I did, yeah)
 You got me Cthinkin' 'bout our Dlife our house and Emkids, yeah
 Every Cmornin' I Dlook at you and Gsmile
 'Cause boy you came aCround Dand you knocked me Emdown, knocked me down
[Chorus]
 Sometimes Clove Dcomes aGround (love comes around love comes around)
 And it knocks you Cdown just get back Dup when it knocks you Emdown (knocks you down)
 Sometimes Clove Dcomes Garound (love comes around)
 And it knocks you Cdown just get back Dup when it knocks you Emdown (knocks you down)
[Verse] 
 CI never thought I'd, Dhear myself Gsay
 Ya'll gon' Chead, I think I'm gonna Dkick it wit my girl toEmday  (kick it wit my girl today)
 I used to be coCmmander and chief of my Dpimp ship flyin' Ghigh  (flyin' high)
 Til I met this Cpretty little missile that Dshot me out the Emsky (oh, shot me out the sky)
 Hate to know now I'm Ccrashing, don't know how it Dhappened but I know it Gfeels so damn good
 Said if I could go Cback, and make it happen Dfaster don't you know I Emwould baby if I could
 Miss IndeCpendent, ohh, to the Dfullest, the load never Gtoo much She helpin' me pull it
 She shot the Cbullet that ended that Dlife I swear to you the Empimp in me just died tonight girl
[Chorus]
 Sometimes Clove Dcomes aGround (love comes around love comes around)
 And it knocks you Cdown just get back Dup when it knocks you Emdown (knocks you down)
 Sometimes Clove Dcomes Garound (love comes around)
 And it knocks you Cdown just get back Dup when it knocks you Emdown (knocks you down)
[Verse] 
 CTell me now can you Dmake it past your caspers Gso we can finally fly off into NASA
 CYou was always the cheerDleader of my dreams that Emseem to only date the head of football teams
 And CI was the class clown that, Dalways kept you laughin'
 GWe were never meant to be baby we just happen
 So Cplease, don't Dmess up the trick, hey Emyoung world, I'm the new Slick Rick
 They say I Cmove too quick, but we can't Dlet this moment pass us
 GLet the hourglass  pass right into ashes
 CLet the wind blow the ash Dright before my glasses
 EmSo I wrote this love letter right before my classes
 CHow could a goddess ask, someDone that's only average Gfor advice, OMG, you listen to that bitch?
 CWhoa, it's me, Dbaby this is tragic    Em'cause we had it, we was magic
 CI was flyin'D, now I'm crashin',  Gthis is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
 CNow I'm mad, real Dmad, Joe Jackson, Emyou should leave your boyfriend now, 
I'mma ask him
[Verse]
So you gotta take the Cgood, the bad, Dhappy and the sad
Or will you Gbring the better future then I had in the past
'Cause CI don't want to make the Dsame mistakes I did
 EmI don't wanna fall back on my face again
CWoah, Dwoah, I'll adGmit it, I was scared to answer loves call
CWoah, Dwoah, and if it Emhits, better make it worth the fall (when it comes around)
[Chorus]
 Sometimes Clove Dcomes aGround (love comes around love comes around)
 And it knocks you Cdown just get back Dup when it knocks you Emdown (knocks you down)
 Sometimes Clove Dcomes Garound (love comes around)
 And it knocks you Cdown just get back Dup when it knocks you Emdown (knocks you down)
 Knocks you down
[Outro]
CWon’t see it coming when it Dhappens
But when it Ghappens, you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you Cnow
You see when Dlove comes knocks you Emdown
 CWon’t see it coming when it Dhappens
But when it Ghappens you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you Cnow
You see when Dlove knocks you dEmown
