Just Desserts Lyrics

[Verse 1: Charli XCX with MARINA]
Oh, heartbreak's hard when you don't have a plastic heart
You sucked me in through the cinnamon stars
'Cause you tasted so bitter, but the bitter was sweet
I'm the lovelorn princess and I'm yours to eat
I gave you too much, gave you too much to touch
Was the hardcore iron through the velvet glove
You were a lullaby, and you had me blind
But now I laugh 'cause you're the one who's being left behind
I see you cry

[Pre-Chorus: MARINA]
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
Yeah

[Chorus: MARINA]
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Waking everybody in the neighborhood
Telling everybody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX & MARINA]
Yeah, baby, I know that it hurts
When you're about to get your just desserts

[Verse 2: Charli XCX with MARINA]
Oh, heartbreak's hard, harder than glittering cars
Harder than living life fast
Harder than crashing and burning
Hope you that learned your lesson
(I hope that you learned your lesson)
They always said I was a mess of a girl
Ever since you stepped your toes into my perfect world
You flipped me upside down, but I see clear from here
That you're a mess of a boy
You'll cry these tears for years
Look in the mirror, baby

[Pre-Chorus: MARINA]
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
Yeah

[Chorus: MARINA]
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Waking everybody in the neighborhood
Telling everybody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX & MARINA]
Yeah, baby, I know that it hurts
When you're about to get your just desserts

[Bridge: MARINA]
I'm glad that you crashed and burned
Guys like you, they never learn
Never learn
Baby, revenge is sweet
When I am playing you on repeat

[Chorus: MARINA]
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Waking everybody in the neighborhood
Telling everybody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot

[Outro: MARINA]
Now that the shoe's on the other foot
Karma came back, like you knew it would
Like you knew it would
