Oh oh oh oh ooh
You stole my heart with your sweet loving eyes
It didn't take me long to realize
And then I knew you were the girl right for me
I only wish that I could make you see
I was your Romeo and you my Juliet
I was the one that you said you'd not forget
Look at the state I'm in, Carolyn
You're the one that I'm missing
You're with him, my Carolyn
When it's me you should be kissing
Oh Carolyn, do-do do-do do-wa
Now I see you with him and it hurts deep inside
You've got me drowning now in the tears I've cried
I know I'm the one it's a matter of time
And girl I'll wait for you, I'm gonna make you mine
I was your brighter day and you my starry night
Come back to me girl, we can make it right
Look at the state I'm in, Carolyn
You're the one that I'm missing
You're with him, my Carolyn
When it's me you should be kissing
Oh Carolyn, do-do do-do do-wa
I thought that everything you said was true
I was a fool 'cause I believed in you
But now I know that you lied,
You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied
So can't you see the state I'm in, Carolyn
You're the one that I'm missing
(The one that I'm missing)
You're with him, my Carolyn
When it's me you should be kissing
Look at the state I'm in (state I'm in), Carolyn (Carolyn)
You're the one that I'm missing
(The one that I'm missing)
You're with him, my Carolyn (oh baby)
When it's me you should be kissing
Oh Carolyn
Do-do do-do do-wa (Baby yeah)
Do-do do-do do-wa (I miss you yeah)
Do-do do-do do-wa (My Carolyn)
