Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don`t see it that way
I don`t see it that way
Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we`re all the same
Oh, 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 try but you see, it`s hard to explain
I say the right things, 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
Says he can`t decide
I shake my head to say
Everything`s just great
Oh, I just can`t remember
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 things 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
Oh, man, can`t you see I`m nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I miss the last bus, we take the next train
I try but you see, it`s hard to explain
