Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
I don´t see it that way
I don´t see it that way

We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fate
Ways we´re all the same
I don´t see it that way
I don´t see it that way

Raised in Carolina
I´m not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I missed the last bus
I´ll take the next train
I tried but you see
It´s hard to explain
I say the right thing
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watch the tv
Forget what I´m told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
The joke is on you
This place is a zoo
You´re right, it´s true

He said he can´t decide
I shake my head to say
Everything´s just great
Oh I just can´t remember
Oh I just can´t remember

Raised in Carolina (she says)
I´m not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I say the right thing
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watch the tv
Forget what I´m told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
I´ll make it you see
I´m ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I´ll take the next train
I try but you see
It´s hard to explain
