Lyrics The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys

When Karen Comes Around

Thought I had my life together,

Things were going so fine

We encountered stormy weather

But we always found the sunshine.

I thought I’d covered everything

Everything that life could bring and more.

But I forgot to close one door.

When Karen comes around

I don’t know what to do.

I doubt everything I’ve found

My heart divides in two.

When Karen goes away

For me it’s never through.

My world turns upside down

When Karen comes around.

Did I plan too far ahead?

I don’t know, it’s hard to tell.

I made my choice, I made my bed

But lately I don’t sleep so well.

I really thought we had it all

Stone by stone I’d built a wall around you,

Oh but then out of the blue.

Karen comes around

And I don’t know what to do.

I doubt everything I’ve found

My heart divides in two.

When Karen goes away

For me it’s never through.

My wall comes tumbling down

When Karen comes around.

Karen comes around

And I don’t know what to do

I doubt everything I’ve found

My heart divides in two.

When Karen goes away

For me it’s never through.

My wall comes tumbling down

When Karen comes around.
