Baby what’s your karma like

cuz wow you must’ve earned me historically.

Don’t have to hold it in no more

I’ll take it, babe. (I’ll take it, babe)

Ooh we could blame the moon or blame the tides,

music so sweet, a tear fell from my eye,

don’t have to lift a finger,

was it something I said?

Yeh I think I give ‘em, big feelings, (mm)

big feelings, (mm)

I know I give em big, big,

there are worse things that I could do.

Big feelings (mm), they’re only big feelings, (mm)

I know I give em big, big –

there’re worse things that I could…

Let me take things off your mind

cuz joy can heal you so therapeutically.

Whether we’re on the phone or real life

I got you babe. (I got you babe)

Ooh you could blame the stars or blame the sky,

this voice is ’bout to make the whole world cry,

there’s no need to break down,

leave it all in my head.

Yeh I think I give ‘em, big feelings, (mm)

big feelings, (mm)

I know I give em big, big,

there are worse things that I could do.

Big feelings (mm), they’re only big feelings, (oh)

I know I give em big, big –

there’re worse things that I could, do.

There’re worse things that I could, do. (mm).

Oh yeh,

I know it can be so hard sometimes for me to stop it,

once you express yourself it can become so aquatic.

Come swim in these waters,

let the current set your spirit free.

So baby can you promise me,

that you’ll accept me, properly,

then I’ll give you big, big

Big feelings (I know), big feelings (I know),

I know I give em big, big,

there are worse things that I could do.

Big feelings (mm), they’re only big feelings (mm),

I know I give em big, big,

there are worse things that I could do (oh).

Big feelings (I know), big feelings (I know),

I know I give em big, big,

there are worse things that I could do.

Big feelings (mm), they’re only big feelings (mm),

I know I give em big, big,

there’re worse things that I could, do (mm).

There’re worse things that I could, do (mm)

(uh)

I had to soften quite a lot of this as the chorus and bridge are strongly suggestive. With that said, changes like “his eye” to “my eye” were done 1 of 2, or both, reasons – 1. continuity 2. to broaden the object from a man to the audience

Verse 1: continuity

Pre-Chorus 1: continuity, anatomical vulgarity

Chorus: continuity, softened

Verse 2: continuity, suggestive

Pre-Chorus 2: continuity, vulgarity

Bridge: continuity, double entendre, suggestive
