I was a bad girl, I did some bad things
I swear I did it all for fun, and it meant nothing
It never happened, it was a secret
Like when a tree falls in the forest, no one hears it
Another late night, another crazy mood
And I didn't think twice what it would do to you
I was a wild child, you always knew it
It was a matter of time before I blew it
[Pre-Chorus]
Thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not cheat
Thou shalt not get caught, or you'll end up just like me, oh
[Chorus]
Karma's a bitch, I should've known better
If I had a wish, I would've never messed around
When I saw the pics of you with her, I felt the knife twist
Karma's a bitch, and she's with you right now
[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Karma's a bitch
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) K-k-karma's a bitch
Better be good, 'cause what goes around comes around
Karma's a bitch, and she's with you right now
She is a good girl, I think she's boring
Believe me, twenty minutes later, you'll be snoring
But it still kills me that you hooked up with her
And now the universe has given me what I deserve, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not cheat
I'll write it down a thousand times and hope it sets me free, oh
[Chorus]
Karma's a bitch, I should've known better
If I had a wish, I would've never messed around
When I saw the pics of you with her, I felt the knife twist
Karma's a bitch, and she's with you right now
[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Karma's a bitch
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) K-k-karma's a bitch
Better be good, 'cause what goes around comes around
Karma's a bitch, and God I'm payin' for it now
[Bridge]
And when I lay me down to sleep, it's not your body next to me
This lonely room feels so empty, just me and my regrets
And cold blue eyes look back at me, the mirror has no sympathy
My guilts become my symphony that won't let me forget, oh
Karma's a bitch, I-I should've known better
If I-I had a wish, I-I would've never m-messed around-round-round
When I saw the pics of you with her, I felt the knife twist
Karma's a bitch, and she's with you right now
[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Karma's a bitch
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) K-k-karma's a bitch
Better be good, 'cause what goes around comes around
Karma's a bitch, and God I'm payin' for it now
[Chorus]
Karma's a bitch (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I should've known better (Karma's a bitch)
If I had a wish, I would've never messed around
When I saw the pics of you with her, I felt the knife twist
Karma's a bitch, and she's with you right now
