[Verse 1]

I thought three days made me hard to miss

Till your five made me lose my mind

That blonde in L.A. didn’t mean a thing

But you sure picked a hell of a guy

And that short black dress I said was too much

Turns out too much is just right

If it hit the floor, don’t tell me whose

I’m already dying tonight


[Chorus]

Yeah, it burned a little going down, down, down

Tasted like cheap regret

Turns out karma in a little black dress

Ain’t finished with me yet

Yeah, poor, poor me, I know, I know

I got just what I deserve

I took your medicine, now the side effects

Are missing you and losing my nеrve


[instrumental break]


[Verse 2]

Yeah, I walked a holе right through the hall

Swore I wasn’t keeping score

But I read your “K” like scripture

And your silence like a court report

I checked my phone, then checked my pride

Both of ’em came back cracked

Turns out crazy looks a whole lot worse

When it’s me who’s acting like that


[Chorus]

Yeah, it burned a little going down, down, down

Tasted like cheap regret

Turns out karma in a little black dress

Ain’t finished with me yet

Yeah, poor, poor me, I know, I know

I got just what I deserve

I took your medicine, now the side effects

Are missing you and losing my nerve


[instrumental break]


[Bridge]

Yeah, I took that shot, threw it back

Waited on a call that never came back

A hundred twenty hours, that’s a lot

I checked, girl, that’s five whole clocks

I bought the flowers, had the speech

All dressed up in my regret

Turns out your medicine works real good

But it ain’t cured me yet


[Final Chorus]

Yeah, it burned a little going down, down, down

Tasted like cheap regret

Turns out karma in a little black dress

Ain’t finished with me yet

Yeah, poor, poor me, I know, I know

I got just what I deserve

I took your medicine, now the side effects

Are missing you and losing my nerve

It ain’t no lie, my phone just died

Yeah, that one came back around

I used to say it smooth as whiskey

Now it sounds like a cheap way out

So pour it on, I’ll choke it down

Girl, I guess I finally learned

I took your medicine, now the side effects

Are missing you and losing my nerve
