Karaoke Songtext
von Drake

Things have been so crazy and hectic
I should′ve gotten back by now
But you know how much I wanted to make it
It's probably better, anyhow

So if you gotta go
If there′s anything I should know
If the spotlight makes you nervous
If you're lookin' for a purpose

You put the tea in the kettle and light it
Put your hand on the metal and feel it
But do you even feel it anymore?
I remember when you thought I was joking
Now I′m off singing karaoke
Further than I′ve ever been, oh-oh-oh

So if you gotta go
If there's any way I can help


Isn′t it ironic that the girl I wanna marry is a wedding planner?
That tells me my life is too much and then moves to Atlanta?
Damn, of all the places you could go
I just thought you'd choose somewhere that has somebody that you know

I′m always up too late, I worry 'bout you there alone
In that place you call your home, warm nights and cold Patron
I hope you don′t get known for nothing crazy
'Cause no man ever wants to hear those stories 'bout his lady

I know they say the first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest
I tried to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets
Secrets you were telling everybody but me
Don′t be fooled by the money, I′m still just young and unlucky
I'm surprised you couldn′t tell

I was only tryna get ahead (to get ahead)
I was only tryna get ahead (to get ahead)
But the spotlight makes you nervous
And you're looking for a purpose

I was only tryna get ahead
I was only tryna get ahead
But the spotlight makes you nervous
(Makes you nervous, makes you nervous)
