Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
I tried to take control
Oh I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
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 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
Cos this is a zoo
You're right, it's true
He 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
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 take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain
