Karma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mm, mm
I got this burning feeling
Up inside my bones
You know I've been calling
"Baby, are you home?"
I know your girl set the bar and she’s pretty as fuck, but
I am the one
She got the time, but I got the touch that
Makes you dumb

[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you realise now
You need the real right now
Wanna fake it 'til you make it, I’ma break that shit down
I wanna show you just how I make you come around

[Chorus]
Like karma, boy with me, no drama
You can't escape this now
I'll make you come around
Oh, karma, play it how you wanna
'Cause it's got a way of working out
I'll break it down
You should know that you can't fight karma
Oh, no, hey, no, no, no, no, wow

[Verse 2]
Aren't you missing something?
I could bring you joy
You could have me for nothing, huh
So, what you waiting for?
I know you think what you want is a girl that don’t tell you
When you are wrong
But I’ll be the one to turn you back around to
Where you're running from

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you realize now
That I’m the real right now?
Know you wanna keep it quiet, I'ma play that shit loud
I'm gonna show you just how I make you come around

[Chorus]
Like karma, boy with me, no drama, huh
You can't escape this now
I’ll make you come around
Oh, karma, play it how you wanna
'Cause it's got a way of working out
I'll break it down
You should know that you can't fight karma
Hm, yeah

[Bridge]
We been, we been here too long
This game just goes on and on
You know I'm the only one
You know I'm the only one (Ha-ha)
I'm not gonna call no more (No, I'm not, no, I'm not)
No waiting outside your door (La, la, la)
I'll get what I came here for
I know that you'll come around like karma
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, yeah, ha
You should know that you can't fight karma
No, you can't, no, you can't, love, yeah, hey
Oh, dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-deh
Know, you should know, you should know, ah-ah

[Outro]
The self-worth and the validation for each other
It was like I, I didn't feel myself without him...
That as a concept is crazy
Just how I'm sayin' it... yeah, yeah
Tryin', but I'm just sayin'...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

This song must be inspired by all the music that I listened to growing up, really beautiful jazzy slow jams. People like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and all the old records that my mum and dad played around the house. It’s my best friend playing the saxophone. We grew up together, so it was really nice to have that connection. This track is me going, “I know I can’t have you, but I’m going to get you.” It’s my cheeky moment on the album. I’m not really that kind of girl, so writing this song I found fun.
