On the rebound, on the rebound 
That's how you fell for me
That's how you changed my life
You cut me like a knife

On the rebound, on the rebound 
You came, you saw, you took
It only took one look 
And lady, I was hooked

On the rebound, it's a replay 
Your love was on the rebound
On the rebound 
You came and took my soul
You came and left a hole
Where your love used to be

On the rebound, on the rebound 
You like to drown in your tears
And after all these years
You give your pain to me

On the rebound, you came to me, babe
On the rebound, to set you free
On the rebound, too bad for me
Your love was on the rebound

You came to me
To set you free
To pray for me
It's a replay
You came to repay
It's a replay
To set you free
Just a replay
Your love was
Just a replay
