Karma
Jessica Andrews Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut me loose, forget all about me
Baby, tell me, have you ever heard
About this little, five-letter word?
[Chorus]
What comes around goes around
I'm telling you, baby,
What goes up comes down
Hits the ground
You're gonna find out
All about, all about
Karma
So go on, go on, go have your day in the sun
Have a blast, honey
Have you some fun
But don't forget about that golden rule
What you do to others is gonna get done to you
[Chorus]
Life is like a kaleidoscope
Changing colors every day
But there is one thing that I know
You can't mess around with your fate
(Go on, go on, go on)
[Chorus: x2]
Yeah, it's called karma
