Desert loving in your eyes all the way If I listen to your lies, would you say I’m a man (a man) without conviction I’m a man (a man) who doesn’t know How to sell (to sell) a contradiction You come and go, you come and go

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon You come and go, you come and go Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Didn’t hear your wicked words every day And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say That my love (my love) was an addiction When we cling (we cling), our love is strong When you go (you go), you’re gone forever You string along, you string along

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon You come and go, you come and go Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Every day is like survival (survival) You’re my lover (my lover), not my rival Every day is like survival (survival) You’re my lover (my lover), not my rival

I’m a man (a man) without conviction I’m a man (a man) who doesn’t know How to sell (to sell) a contradiction You come and go, you come and go

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon You come and go, you come and go Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon You come and go, you come and go Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon You come and go, you come and go Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
