Boy George - Karma Chameleon Lyrics




Desert loving in your eyes all the way
+
If I listen to your lies, would you say
+
I'm a man (a man) without conviction
+
I'm a man (a man) who doesn't know
+
How to sell (to sell) a contradiction
+
You come and go, you come and go
+
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
+
You come and go, you come and go
+
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
+
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
+
Didn't hear your wicked words every day
+
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
+
That my love (my love) was an addiction
+
When we cling (we cling), our love is strong
+
When you go (you go), you're gone forever
+
You string along, you string along
+
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
+
You come and go, you come and go
+
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
+
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
+
Every day is like survival (survival)
+
You're my lover (my lover), not my rival
+
Every day is like survival (survival)
+
You're my lover (my lover), not my rival
+
I'm a man (a man) without conviction
+
I'm a man (a man) who doesn't know
+
How to sell (to sell) a contradiction
+
You come and go, you come and go
+
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
+
You come and go, you come and go
+
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
+
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
+
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
+
You come and go, you come and go
+
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
+
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
+
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
+
You come and go, you come and go
+
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
+
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
+
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

Karma Chameleon

"Karma Chameleon" is a song by English band Culture Club, featured on the group's 1983 album Colour by Numbers. The single was released in the United Kingdom in September 1983 and became the second Culture Club single to reach the top of the UK singles chart, after "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me". The record stayed at number one for six weeks and became the UK's biggest-selling single of the year 1983, selling 955,000 copies in 1983 and certificated platinum by BPI. To date, it is the 38th-biggest-selling single of all time in the UK, selling over 1.52 million copies.

In an interview, Culture Club frontman Boy George explained: "The song is about the terrible fear of alienation that people have, the fear of standing up for one thing. It's about trying to suck up to everybody. Basically, if you aren't true, if you don't act like you feel, then you get Karma-justice, that's nature's way of paying you back."

In response to claims from singer-songwriter Jimmy Jones that the song plagiarizes his hit "Handy Man", George stated, "I might have heard it once, but it certainly wasn't something I sat down and said, 'Yeah, I want to copy this.'" In an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Boy George said that he wrote the song while he was on vacation in Egypt, and that the other members of Culture Club were initially hesitant to record it as they felt it sounded like a country song.

The song was a worldwide success, going number one in 20 countries. It also spent three weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984, becoming the group's biggest hit and only US number-one single among their many top-10 hits. The single sold over 5 million copies globally. In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation's ninth favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV. The sleeve features work from the photographer David Levine.
