Lyrics
Talking yourself up once again
All those girls but no girlfriend
Cos you're saying that you love her while texting another
You think that you're all that
But karma she hits back
Oh woah
What goes around comes around
Oh don't you know
Your feet aren't even on the ground
You wont get far when you set the bar this low
Does it get me high? How bout no
You may have nailed the selfie game...but it real life
It's hashtag 'what a shame'
You're saying that you miss her, while your eyes are on her sister
It's the act that I saw through
And karma sees it too
Oh woah
What goes around comes around
Oh don't you know
Your feet aren't even on the ground
You wont get far when you set the bar this low
Does it get me high? How bout no
Did you think that she would fall that I would fall for it all
How bout no
It's coming round
Oh Your feet aren't even on the ground
You wont get far when you set the bar this low
Does it get me high? How bout no
