  • Oh-oh, ooh
    You've been runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round throwin' that dirt all on my name
    'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up
    You've been going 'round, going 'round, going 'round every party in L.A.
    'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd be at one, oh

    I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
    You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine, oh
    And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect?
    But you're not coming home with me tonight

    You just want attention, you don't want my heart
    Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
    Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
    You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you

    (Oh yeah) you've been runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round throwing that dirt all on my name
    'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up
    Baby, now that we're, now that we're, now that we're right here standing face-to-face
    You already know, already know, already know that you won, oh

    I know that dress is karma (dress is karma), perfume regret
    You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine (you got me thinking 'bout when you were mine)
    And now I'm all up on ya (all up on ya), what you expect? (oh baby)
    But you're not coming home with me tonight (oh no)

    You just want attention, you don't want my heart
    Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
    Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
    You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you, oh

    What are you doin' to me, what are you doin', huh?
    (What are you doin'?)
    What are you doin' to me, what are you doin', huh?
    (What are you doin'?)
    What are you doin' to me, what are you doin', huh?
    (What are you doin'?)
    What are you doin' to me, what are you doin', huh?

    I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
    You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine
    And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect?
    But you're not coming home with me tonight

    You just want attention, you don't want my heart
    Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
    Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
    You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you (over you)

    What are you doin' to me? (hey) what are you doin', huh? (what are you doin', what?)
    What are you doin', huh? (what are you doin' to me?)
    (What are you doin', huh?) (yeah, you just want attention)
    What are you doin' to me, what are you doin', huh? (I knew from the start)
    (You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you) what are you doin' to me, what are you doin', huh?
