Karma

March 11th, 2024

They knew me as Karma
Back home where I’m from
I’ve let them think they’ve played me
I’ve let them think I’m dumb

Because I follow their lead
But I know a thing or two
Love is not a game
But I’ll play it here with you

[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better

They’re asking what’s the catch
So I’ll tell them that it’s me
They’re grinning at the challenge
But it won’t be that easy

They think they hold the power
They believe they’re in control
But I’ll John Tucker these boys
Until it takes its toll

[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better

They were playing all the games
And not noticing my lead
I flipped the script and snagged them
Until I was what they need

They thought they had me fooled
They were telling all their friends
So I will rip their heart out
That’s the way this story ends

[Chorus 2:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look at what I’ve got”
But I just dodged a bullet 
Maybe next time they’ll get shot

And that’s why they call me Karma…

Note: I usually don’t write about things I don’t relate to, but I had this idea for a song and wanted to see how it would play out. I was thinking country female rage.

Fine, leave me faster than a shooting star flies
That’s how it went – yeah
If that’s how it’s going to be
Here’s what I have to say

[Chorus:]
Go where you want to go
Be where you want to be
See what you want to see 
Then live what you want to live

Bye
That’s the last one you’ll ever hear
Yeah
Adios, see you later señor – not

I said bye
Gotta go
See you later – not
Bye

[Chorus:]
Go where you want to go
Be where you want to be
See what you want to see
Then live what you want to live

Gotta Move On

November 2003

I’m constantly thinking about the past
When I should be over it and head to the future
Crying over something that happened months ago
When I should be dealing with the present instead

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’m never thinking straight
I’m always falling behind
I better keep my grip
Before I fall back down that cliff

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’ve gotta move on
