Lyrics
"Karma Hurts"
Verse 1: Payback is a mother, I heard you found another lover, should've been more into you, gone above and beyond for you.
You said there was no other, he left his scent all in the covers,
I don't really think bad of you,
I didn't follow the golden rule.
Hook 1 :oh baby karma hurts, I should've put you first, but I neglected you, girl I made it worse, I underestimated, your trust and luv for me, my hindsight 2020, came too late for me
Verse 2: You won't take back what you've done, (just like a woman) thought of getting even just for fun, I don't want that toxic energy, girl that don't make no sense to me.
You use to say you loved my flaws, all the stains and the scars and all, not ashamed to say
I want you back, Not ashamed to kneel and take you back.
Hook 2: oh baby karma hurts, I should've put you first, but I neglected you, girl I made it worse, I underestimated your trust and luv for me, my hindsight 2020, came too late for me.
Oh baby karma hurts, I should've put you first, I neglected you, girl I made it worse, I underestimated your trust and luv for me, my hindsight 2020, came too late for me.
Bridge:
Whatever choice it is that you make, just know we both made mistakes, if it's over give me closure today, I'll sadly turn the page and give you your space.
Hook Outro: oh baby karma hurts, I should've put you first, but I neglected you, girl I made it worse, I underestimated your trust and luv for me, my hindsight 2020, came too late for me. Repeat
