[Verse 1]
I gave a smile to the stranger on the street
But life just laughed and walked on its feet
Held the door open for someone today
And all I got was a shrug and "okay"
[Chorus]
No karma for me
It’s a one-way show
Giving all I got
But it won’t bestow
I’m a saint in disguise
But the world won’t see
No karma
No karma
No karma for me
[Verse 2]
I rescued a cat from a tree so tall
But it scratched my face
Made me feel so small
I shared my fries with a hungry dude
He took the ketchup
Left me in the mood
[Chorus]
No karma for me
It’s a one-way show
Giving all I got
But it won’t bestow
I’m a saint in disguise
But the world won’t see
No karma
No karma
No karma for me
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s hiding
Maybe it’s shy
Maybe it’s laughing up there in the sky
But I’ll keep giving
Just wait and see
Someday karma might come back to me
[Verse 3]
I paid it forward
Gave my last dime
But the vending machine ate it
Every time
Held my head high
Took the higher road
Still waiting for that good to unload
