Karma

Weren't you the one who said that you don't want me anymore

And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door

And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me

And still you said your love was gone and that I had to leave


Now you talking bout a family

Now you saying I complete your dreams

Yeah

Now you sayin I'm your everything

You're confusing me

What you saying to me, don't play with me, don't play with me

Cause....


What goes around comes around

What goes up must come down

Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me

What goes around comes around

What goes up must come down

Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back


I remember when I was sittin home alone

Waitin for you til 3 o'clock in the 'morn

And when you came home you'd always have some sorry excuse

Half explaining to me like I'm just some kind of a fool

I sacrificed the things I wanted just to do things for you

But when it's time to do for me

You never come thru

Now you wanna be up under me

Now you have so much to say to me

Now you wanna make time for me

What'cha doin to me, you're confusin' me

Don't play with me, don't play with me 

cause


What goes around comes around

What goes up must come down

Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me

What goes around comes around

What goes up must come down

Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back


I remember when I was sittin home alone

Waitin for you till 3 o'clock in the 'morn

Night after night knowing something goin on

Wasn't long before I be gone

Lord knows it wasn't easy believe me

Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me

And never do what you're supposed to do

No need to approach me fool, cuz I'm over you


What goes around comes around

What goes up must come down

Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me

What goes around comes around

What goes up must come down

It's called karma baby' and it goes around

Baby, baby, baby,

Will you ever know?

If I Ain't Got You

Some people live for the fortune

Some people live just for the fame

Some people live for the power, yeah

Some people live just to play the game


Some people think that the physical things

Define what's within

And I've been there before but that life's a bore

So full of the superficial


Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you, baby

If I ain't got you, baby


Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, yeah


Some people search for a fountain

That promises forever young

Some people need three dozen roses

And that's the only way to prove you love him


Hand me the world on a silver platter

And what good would it be?

With no one to share

With no one who truly cares for me


Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you, baby

If I ain't got you, baby


Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, you, you


Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you, baby

If I ain't got you, baby


Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, yeah


If I ain't got you with me, baby

Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

If I ain't got you with me, baby
