Acapella
Karmin Lyrics

Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
I used to be your significant other, but not anymore

Thought you were the perfect lover
I believed you were the ideal partner

All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Our relationship fell apart and became dissonant

Now you gotta find another
You need to move on and find someone else

Now you're talkin' crazy sayin' that you made me
You're saying ridiculous things like you created me

Like I was your Cinderella
You treated me like a fairy tale character that needed saving

You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
Our relationship is over and I'm going to move on independently

I'mma do it acapella, yeah
I'm going to do it without any accompaniment or support

Once upon a time, I met the perfect guy
There was a moment when I found someone who seemed ideal

He had that Colgate smile, he had that suit & tie
He was attractive, clean-cut, and professional

Mama always said "get a rich boyfriend,
My mother advised me to find a wealthy romantic partner

You don't gotta love 'em, girl, you can pretend"
She suggested that I didn't need to actually love them, I could just act like I did

You bet I totes believed her, yeah, every word she said
I absolutely believed her, without question

Thought he was gluten-free, but all that I got was bread
I thought he was someone I was compatible with, but he turned out to be unsatisfying

Ooh, and what a lucky girl you will be
It seemed like I was going to have a great relationship

But no, he didn't do jack for me
However, he didn't do anything to improve my life or make me happy

I want a bean with the beanstalk
I desire something strong and tall, like a fairy tale beanstalk

And if the magic ain't right, time to walk
If there's no spark or connection, it's time to leave

Out on our first date, he took me gourmet
During our first date, he took me to a fancy restaurant

We hit that Olive Garden, my Little Italy
But, in reality, we just went to the Olive Garden

Daddy always said "let the gentleman pay,
My father taught me that the man should always pay for the date

Never ever go Dutch at the buffet"
I should never split the bill at a self-serve meal

I saw his bad intention, he didn't wanna talk
I noticed that he wasn't interested in communicating with me

He put the saucy on it (Oops!) time to check my watch
He tried to make a move (and failed), reminding me to leave soon

Daddy always said "money can't buy class,
My father taught me that wealth doesn't equate to good behavior or manners

You don't wanna get stuck takin' out trash"
I don't want to be with someone who acts like garbage

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Musical interlude

Watch me do it in falsetta
I'm going to sing in a high-pitched, artificial-sounding voice

Never mind, bring the beat back
Ignore that, please start the music again
