Lyrics

Oh, Karen
Lyrics and Music by Matthew Shadley Brauer

Why are you so angry?
Why are you so cross?
Why are you demanding
To speak to my boss?

You’re making a scene,
You’re disturbing the store.
I’ve never met anyone
Quite like you before

Oh, Karen,
What am I gonna do?
I’m head over heels
Just thinking bout you

Oh, Karen,
How’s this going to end?
Would you take me as a lover
Or even as a friend?

I know you’re upset
Behind that double mask.
I’m trying to do my job, but
You’re taking me to task.

Your hair looks so nice,
In a Kate Gosselin way.
Let’s go out to dinner,
And leave this affray.

O,h Karen,
What am I gonna do?
I’m head over heels
Just thinking bout you

Oh, Karen,
How’s this going to end?
Would you take me as a lover
Or even as a friend?

Karen please forgive me,
But I just don’t understand
How some things never work out,
The way they were planned

You signal your virtue,
Like a calling card or an art.
But like any conformist
You’re blessed with an ice cold heart

Oh, Karen,
What am I gonna do?
I’m head over heels
Just thinking bout you

Oh, Karen,
How’s this going to end?
Would you take me as a lover
Or even as a friend?
