Hello
Karmin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'mma do it, do it
Like I wanna do it
You don't know me like, you ain't never know me before
I'mma bring it, bring it
I'mma give it, give it
You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello

You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Too nice, too clean
Too white, too green
Little haters, big dreams
I don't care what you think about me
Two faced, old friends, told me, the end, was near, forget them
See a lot of things changed since then
Don't they know that I came from Nebraska
Am I gonna quit? nice of you to ask
But momma told me go and chase what you after
I'm on track, so I'm gonna rap faster
I will break it down for you and get a lil' deeper
Slaying on a prayer, on the record grim reaper
Running on thermometer, and yep I got a fever
Hi Konnichiwa, are you a believer?

I'mma do it, do it
Like I wanna do it
You don't know me like, you ain't never know me before
I'mma bring it, bring it
I'mma give it, give it
You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello

You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Too hard, too soft, too rough, too posh
Lemme know what I want
Lace it up, baby tie it in a knot
Raise track, two legs, Hollywood, big break
Suck it up, intake
Let me tell ya how it happened real quick
Touchdown in the middle of the city
Massive street, jammed up to new weary
Know you done a party
Now tell me who you wearing
Loads of new hair held high you can carry
I will break it down for you and get a lil' deeper
Slaying on a prayer, on the record grim reaper
Running on thermometer, and yep I got a fever
Hi Konnichiwa, very nice to meet ya

I'mma do it, do it
Like I wanna do it
You don't know me like, you ain't never know me before
I'mma bring it, bring it
I'mma give it, give it
You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello

You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Let me keep going, baby till I'm dead and gone
That's my only wish
And if you don't know I'll be singing my song
I got a lot to give oh,

I'mma do it, do it
Like I wanna do it
You don't know me like, you ain't never know me before
I'mma bring it, bring it
I'mma give it, give it
You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello

You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello





You gon' love me like you ain't love nobody before
