Ooh Caroline, you used to be clean
'Til you met your old beau
And he left you unwed
And they christened you the black sheep
To keep the world from knowing
What the rest of 'em did
Ooh Caroline, you're not a beauty queen
Unlike some other siblings
Who shall remain unnamed
But personally, I'd say you've got 'em all beat
'Cause you're the only one sweet
Enough to live in shame
'Cause they see somethin' tarnished
Somethin' borrowed, somethin' used
Well their imagery's outdated
Yeah they're just a tad confused
'Cause they pushed you off a burning train
And blamed the fall on you
But you look just the same to me
Yeah, I don't see what they see
Ooh oh oh oh… Caroline Ca-Ca-Caroline
La da da da… I just don't see what they see
Yeah, you look just the same to me
Ooh Caroline, it brings me chagrin
To see the look on your face
That you believe what they say
'Cause we all recall love at seventeen
If they call that obscene
They know not what they say
'Cause they're quotin' somethin' ancient
Somethin' biased, somethin' cruel
And I'm sure they mean to help you
But be wary of the wolves
'Cause you're only in the pack
'Til you start questioning the rules
And you don't look like them to me
Yeah, I don't see what they see
Ooh oh oh oh… I just don't see what they see
So please don't change a thing Caroline
