KARMA CHAMELEON Lyrics – BOY GEORGE

With a catchy melody and metaphorical lyrics, “Karma Chameleon” comments on an untrustworthy lover who constantly changes their persona. The lyrics depict someone who is a “chameleon” and morphs into whatever someone wants them to be, whether it’s to impress or manipulate. However, this facade is not sustainable, as the chorus warns “karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon / You come and go, you come and go.” This conveys the fickle, inconsistent nature of this changeable person. The lover described is ultimately out for themselves, leaving when times get tough. While rhythmic and danceable, the song uses the colorful metaphor of a chameleon to shrewdly address fair-weather romance and conditional affection. Do read KARMA CHAMELEON Lyrics below.

Is there loving in your eyes all the way?
If I listen to your lies, would you say?I’m a man without conviction
I’m a man who doesn’t know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and goKarma, karma, karma
Karma, karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go

Loving would be easy
If your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Didn’t hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say

That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go you’re gone forever
You string along
You string along

Karma, karma, karma
Karma, karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go

Loving would be easy
If your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Every day is like survival
You’re my lover not my rival
Everyday is like survival
You’re my lover not my rival

I’m a man without conviction
I’m a man who doesn’t know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

Karma, karma, karma
Karma, karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go

Loving would be easy
If your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green
