Lyrics for Karmin – Brokenhearted
This is more than a typical kinda thing
Felt the joints in my bones where you were touching me, oh oh
Didn’t want to take it slow
In the days, going crazed, I can barely think
You’re replaying in my brain, find it hard to sleep, oh oh
Waiting for my phone to blowNow I’m here in a sticky situation
Got a little trouble, yep and now i’m pacin’
Five minutes, ten minutes, now it’s been an hour
Don’t wanna think too hard, but i’m sourOh oh, I can’t seem to let you go
See I’ve been waiting all day
For you to call me baby
So let’s get up, let’s get on it
Don’t you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that’s right
Honest baby i’ll do
Anything you want to
So can we finish what we started
Don’t you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that’s rightUh cheerio
What’s the time, such a crime
Not a single word, slipping on a patron
Just to calm my nerves, oh oh
Poppin’ bottles by the phone
Oh yeah
Act me up, pat me down, turn me inside out
That’s enough, hold me up
Maybe i’m in doubt, oh oh
Now don’t even think you know, no noSee I’ve been waiting all day
For you to call me baby
So let’s get up, let’s get on it
Don’t you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that’s right
Honest baby i’ll do
Anything you want to
So can we finish what we started
Don’t you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that’s rightUh cheerio
Anything you wanna do, i’ll be on it too
Everything you say, it’s like a gold with a view
Business on the front, party in the back
Maybe I was wrong, was the alf really wack
This kinda thing doesn’t happen usually
I’m on the opposite side of it, truthfully
I know you want it so come and get itUh cheerio
See I’ve been waiting all day
For you to call me baby
So let’s get up, let’s get on it
Don’t you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that’s right
Honest baby i’ll do
Anything you want to
So can we finish what we started
Don’t you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that’s rightUh cheerio
When you gonna call
Don’t leave me broken hearted
I’ve been waiting up
Let’s finish what we started, oh oh
I can’t seem to let you go
Come on, that’s right
