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
