Lyrics

Karen

I see you found your soul mate

Well what did he do before?

I see you found your precious

He's the gift that's been brought to your door

You say that I'll always be special

Tell me now, what does that mean?

I feel I've been cast as a villain

Well, tell me now, how could that be?

Oh, Karen, how can you be so mean?

Oh, Karen, how can you be so mean?
