Carolina's got a moonlit beach at night and everything seemed perfectly alright and everyone was just having a good time dancing and laughing on the shore by the nightline She walked up to me and looked with her blue-green eyes and I could tell that it was true love in disguise we got to talking, and the chemistry was working fine she said, "Baby, come on see me anytime, room 39." Oh, I'm walking I'd love to stay here, but I just can't pay no, not hardly my baby's gone away I said my baby's gone away That night I was feeling lonely so I went on up to room 39 the key she gave me worked just fine and she was in the shower when I entered said, "Baby, come on in; when I get out we'll have dinner." I sat on the bed and turned on the tv and Jerry Springer's on cause it was two in the morning she walked out in her robe and smiled she said, "If you're really hungry you'll be here for a while." Oh, I'm walking I'd love to stay here, but I just can't pay no, not hardly my baby's gone away I said my baby's gone away Nobody really seems to know what happened and nobody knows who's telling the truth but everyone has got their own little story and everyone wants to share that story with you So brace yourself if you're willing to listen cause I don't think you wanna know what you've been missing and if you're still with me after all of the squabble baby, you and I are like a romance novel Oh, I'm walking I'd love to stay here, but I just can't pay no, not hardly my baby's gone away I said my baby's gone away
