Ready to Burn

I always smell smoke before fire
See trouble from miles away
But you snuck in through my blind spot, baby
Ready to ruin the day
And I tried so hard to forget you
Avoiding you every way
But you turn up just like a bad penny
And I am the one who pays
Well what do you know about karma
It seems like you never learn
I’ve got this advice for you, baby
You’d best be ready to burn
You think that you’ve got your hooks in
But the tables are going to turn
You brought the fire on yourself, honey
You’d best be ready to burn
You think that you’re back in my life now
Ready to start up again
But this time it’s gonna be different, sugar
I’m not letting you win
You think that I won’t fight back now
It’s back to more of the same
But I gotta tell you one thing, honey
I’m the one holding the flames
And what do you know about karma
It seems like you never learn
I’ve got this advice for you, baby
You’d best be ready to burn
You think that you’ve got your hooks in
But the tables are going to turn
You brought the fire on yourself, honey
You’d best be ready to burn
I hate to see you coming
But it’s good watching you walk away
And I know you’ll be back here, baby
Sooner than later I’d say
And I ain’t taking no chances
Waiting for my luck to turn
Next time you feel like showing up, honey
You’ll see just what I learned
