Pharrell Williams - Ball Lyrics

We hit it off the back like reverses, yeah (starting off)
If heaven was the picture, it would be picture perfect, yeah
On your contract, you signed your new last name in cursive
So tell me, ooh, girl, was it worth it?

Did you know you caught a ball in the stands? (Stands)
But you let it go, showin' off and playin' (playin')
Now you wanna get it back, but you can't (can't)
Karma has it that it fell in better hands (oh)
Just like sand, it slipped through your hands
Hourglass, a couple minutes left to dance
I'll be okay in case you wonderin', there's no plan
So you should come and pack your things when you can
Just hate to be the one to tell you

It's too late
The ball's long gone
You stole the base
And you got called
Just hate to be the one to tell you

A clown can never hide in the circus, no (peek-a-boo)
And you know you hate how honest my words came, don't you?
You can't be in love with someone and still hurt them
Or else, tell me, ooh, girl, what's the purpose? Uh

Did you know you caught a ball in the stands? (Stands)
But you let it go, showin' off and playin' (playin')
Now you wanna get it back, but you can't (can't)
Karma has it that it fell in better hands (oh)
Just like sand, it slipped through your hands
Hourglass, a couple minutes left to dance
I'll be okay in case you wonderin', there's no plan
So you should come and pack your things when you can
Just hate to be the one to tell you

It's too late
The ball's long gone (gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
You stole the base (ooh)
And you got called
Just hate to be the one to tell you

It's too late
Did you know you caught a ball in the stands?
But you let it go (the ball's long gone)
Now you wanna get it back, but you can't
Karma has it that (you stole the pace)
Did you know you caught a ball in the stands?
But you let it go (and you got called)
Now you wanna get it back, but you can't
I know all your tricks
