Karmin were Amy Heidemann (Vocals/Guitar) and Nick Noonan (Vocals/Cajon) from Boston, Massachusetts. The Brokenhearted Songfacts reports that their name derives from the Latin word 'carmen,' meaning "song," with a slightly altered spelling to "hint at karma."
The pair first gained recognition from their covers of popular Hip-Hop and Pop songs posted on YouTube. After offers from various record companies, the duo signed with Sony and Epic Records in June 2011.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Verse 1: CAm This is more than a typical kinda thing F Felt the joints in my bones where you were touching me, oh oh GC Didn't want to take it slow CAm In the days, going crazed, I can barely think F You're replaying in my brain, find it hard to sleep, oh oh GC Waiting for my phone to blow
C Now I'm here in a sticky situation C Got a little trouble, yep and now i'm pacin' Am Five minutes, ten minutes, now it's been an hour Am Don't wanna think too hard, but i'm sour FGC Oh oh, I can't seem to let you go
Chorus: C See i've been waiting all day Am For you to call me baby F So let's get up, let's get on it GC Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight C Come on, that's right C Honest baby i'll do Am Anything you want to F So can we finish what we started GC Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight Come on, that's right
Uh cheerio
Verse 2: (same as verse 1) What's the time, such a crime Not a single word, sipping on a patron Just to calm my nerves, oh oh Poppin' bottles by the phone Oh yeah Act me up, pat me down, turn me inside out That's enough, hold me up Maybe i'm in doubt, oh oh Now don't even think you know, no no
[chorus]
Verse 3: Anything you wanna do, i'll be on it too Everything you say, it's like a gold with a view Business on the front, party in the back Maybe I was wrong, was the outfit really wack This kinda thing doesn't happen usually I'm on the opposite side of it, truthfully I know you want it so come and get it
Uh cheerio
[chorus]
Outro: C When you gonna call C Don't leave me broken hearted Am I've been waiting up F Let's finish what we started, oh oh GC I can't seem to let you go Come on, that's right
