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
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 Tryin' to remind her When we go back
I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I'll try, 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'm watching T.V. 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
As if she can't decide I shake my head to say Everythings 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 thing But act the wrong way I like it right here But I cannot stay I'm watching TV Forget what I'm told Well, I am too young And they are too old Oh, man cant 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'll try, but you see It's hard to explain
