Lyrics
Oh Karen
Ever since you stepped foot in this town
All the boys started laying cash down
Betting that they?d have you for a night
Most of the time ending up in a fight
But you don?t care you just stand there tossing your hair
Well you cast your line without using bait
Hook the boys to watch them kill for a date
And tease them while their eyes are on you
While you?re knowing what they all want to do
Girl you don?t play your game even close to what they call fair
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Every body knows your name
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Now nothings gonna be the same
Oh Karen Oh Karen
You scratch and claw and even maim
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Now there?s broken hearts and you?re to blame
So my gut tells me that you?re out to kill
Turning life?s upside down for your thrill
And there doesn?t seem an end that?s in sight
Peeling skins off of hearts isn?t right
To you screwing with a man?s lonely mind suits you just fine
You got the boys all separated from men
Broken hearts they tell you will always mend
Broken souls is what the guys got from you
And only God can help you there if it?s true
The witches brew is thick and stirred so evilly by your two hands
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Everybody knows your name
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Now nothings gonna be the same
Oh Karen Oh Karen
You scratch and claw and even maim
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Now there?s broken hearts and you?re to blame
Ripping those hearts out with your teeth and then spitting them out
Makes a guy wonder what the hell your motives are really about
From your web you watch guys twist and squirm and try to get out
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Everybody knows your name
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Now nothings gonna be the same
Oh Karen Oh Karen
You scratch and claw and even maim
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Now there?s broken hearts and you?re to blame
Oh Karen Oh Karen
Though everybody knows your name
Oh Karen Oh Karen
You?re just a beast that really needs to be tamed
