Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a loving in your eyes all the way

If I listen to your lies, would you say

I'm a man without conviction (A man without conviction)

I'm a man who doesn't know (A man who doesn't know)

How to sell a contradiction (To sell a contradiction)

You come and go

You come and go

[Chorus]

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

You come and go (Ooh)

You come and go (Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

Loving would be easy

If your colors were like my dreams

Red, gold, and green (Ooh)

Red, gold, and green (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]

Didn't hear your wicked words every day

And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say

That my love was an addiction (My love was an addiction)

When we cling, our love is strong (We cling, our love is strong)

When you go, you're gone forever (You go, you're gone forever)

You string along

You string along

[Chorus]

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

You come and go (Ooh)

You come and go (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 3]

Loving would be easy

If your colors were like my dreams

Red, gold, and green (Ooh)

Red, gold, and green (Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]

Every day is like survival (Ooh, survival)

You're my lover, not my rival (Ooh, my lover, not my rival)

Every day is like survival (Every day is like survival, survival)

You're my lover, not my rival (Ooh, my lover, not my rival)

[Bridge]

I'm a man without conviction (A man without conviction)

I'm a man who doesn't know (A man who doesn't know)

How to sell a contradiction (To sell a contradiction)

You come and go

You come and go

[Chorus]

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

You come and go (Ooh)

You come and go (Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

Loving would be easy

If your colors were like my dreams

Red, gold, and green (Ooh)

Red, gold, and green (Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

[Chorus]

Loving would be easy

If your colors were like my dream

Red, gold, and green

Red, gold, and green

[Chorus]

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

You come and go (Ooh)

You come and go (Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

Loving would be easy

If your colors were like my dreams

Red, gold, and green (Ooh)

Red, gold, and green (Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

You come and go (Ooh)

You come and go (Ooh, ooh)

[Outro]

Loving would be easy

If your colors were like my dreams

Red, gold, and green (Ooh)

Red, gold, and green (Ooh, ooh)
