Was an honest man Asked me for the phone Tried to take control I don't see it that way I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas All obsessed with fame Ways we're all the same 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 tried but you see It's hard to explain I say the right thing 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
He said he can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh I just can't remember Oh 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 thing 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 missed the last bus I'll take the next train I try but you see It's hard to explain
