Oh heartbreak’s hard when you don’t have a plastic heart
You sent me in through the cinnamon stars
Cause you tasted so bitter but the bitter was sweet
I’m a lovelorn princess and I’m yours to eat
I gave you too much,
Gave you too much to touch
Just the hardcore iron through the velvet glove
You were a lullaby and you had me blind
And now I laugh cause you’re the one whose being left behind
I see you cry
Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin’ everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin’ everybody that I’m no good
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put…
On the other foot
Yeah baby, I know that it hurts
When you’re about to get your just desserts
Oh heartbreak’s hard,
Harder than glittering cars
Harder than living life fast
Harder than crashin’ and burnin’
Hope that you’ll learn your lesson
(I hope that you learn your lesson)
They always said I was a mess of a girl
Ever since you stepped your toes into my perfect world
You flipped me upside down but I see clear from here
That you’re a mess of a boy, you’ll cry these tears for years
Look in the mirror baby
Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin’ everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin’ everybody that I’m no good
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put…
On the other foot
Yeah baby, I know that it hurts
When you’re about to get your just desserts
I’m glad that you crashed and burned
Guys like you, they never learn
Never learn
Baby,
Revenge is sweet
When I am playing
You on repeat
Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin’ everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin’ everybody that I’m no good
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put…
On the other foot
Now that the shoe’s on the other foot…
Karma came back
Like you knew it would,
Like you knew it would
