Caroline

She called me up the other day

And left a message on my machine

She called to say you broke her heart

And she wondered if I'd seen you

I didn't know what to do

I never called her back

Oh how could I break the news like that?

No I don't want to see Caroline

Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine

Can't look in her eyes and tell her love is blind

No I don't want to see Caroline

I don't want to see Caroline

How can I want you so bad

She has to lose again

How could you walk out on her

And turn to her best friend?

It was wrong from the start

I wish I'd turned you away

And my head said go

And my heart, my heart said stay

And now I don't want to see Caroline

Don't want to see her cry when she knows you're mine

Can't look in those eyes and tell her she'll be fine

No I don't want to see Caroline

I don't want to see Caroline

I'm so ashamed of myself but I still want you

What a terrible thing for a friend to do

I think I've gone too far this time

I leapt across that thin blue line

God help this selfish heart of mine

No I don't want to see Caroline

I can never face Caroline

Though I lie here with you

Can't get her out of my head

Do you think she knows that you share my bed?

Well I don't want to see Caroline

Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine

How can a friend be so unkind?

No I don't want to see Caroline

I don't want to see Caroline

I don't want to see Caroline

I don't want to see Caroline
