look at your face, so simple and plain
i said your beauty was the sun being born
i held myself back, so the silence could pass
i kept real still, til your clothes hit the floor
carol, caroline
can you love me like you did when you were young?
carol, caroline
a simple stolen kiss was just enough, and just for fun
the words that you gave were simple and plain
you cannot love me like you once did before
now i'm on my way, so young and afraid
this world will crush me once i step out your door
this world will destroy me once i step a foot out your door
carol caroline
can you love me like you did when you were young
carol caroline
a simple stolen kiss was just enough, just because, just because
carol caroline
