Lyrics
You've been runnin' round, runnin' round, runnin' round throwin' that dirt all on my name
You've been spreading rumors and talking negatively about me.
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up
You expected that I would confront you about the rumors.
You've been going round, going round, going round every party in L.A.
You've been attending parties around Los Angeles.
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd be at one
You knew I would likely be at one of those parties.
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
The dress you're wearing symbolizes consequences, and the perfume represents regret.
You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine, oh
I'm reminiscing about the past when we were together.
And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect?
I'm close to you now; what did you anticipate?
But you're not coming home with me tonight
Despite our proximity, you won't be coming home with me tonight.
You just want attention, you don't want my heart
You're seeking attention without genuine interest in a relationship.
Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
Possibly, you dislike the idea of me being with someone else.
Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
Your actions confirm that you only crave attention.
You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you
You want to ensure I can't move on from our past relationship.

'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up

Baby, now that we're, now that we're, now that we're right here standing face-to-face
We are now face-to-face after all that has happened.
You already know, already know, already know that you won, oh
You are aware that you have 'won' in this situation.
I know that dress is karma (dress is karma), perfume regret
The dress and perfume are again mentioned, emphasizing consequences and regret.
