Intro
Verse 1
Carolyn's a piece of coal in a world of a lust for diamonds
she really likes to dance, but never gets a chance
Oh to realize her goals, no one knew this more than I did
Oh Carolyn please focus in
Prechorus
She's tired of all the street fighting
and when will it ever end
She's practically missed that dream train
Chorus
I think she's ready to believe, the best years of her life are behind her now
Where do you think she...
Got that idea?
From that one place a certain someplace
How does it feel?
Cause you got more than a bit part in this play she's in
Whoa no, the taming of Carolyn
Nah, na na na na na
Verse 2
You put a price on what she learned,
a subtle twist in her position
Her mother's worst fears are confirmed
she's taken off with some musician, holy shit!
What kinda life is that for the child of a doormat?
Prechorus
Other fathers are hitting baseballs
and her dad was hitting the sauce
With never a moments thought toward what was gained and what was lost
Chorus
She's ready to believe, the best years of her life are behind her now
Where do you think she...
Got that idea?
From that one place a certain someplace
Wipe off that grin
When you've got more than a bit part in this play she's in
Whoa no, the taming of Carolyn
Nah, na na na na na
The taming of Carolyn
Nah, na na na na na
Bridge
Can't you see?
You're asking for something she can't be
Can't you see?
Some things are solid gold we thought we're only tin
and though she prefers Carolina
everybody seems to call her Carolyn
Verse 3
Carolyn, when they bring you to tears
Just put your fingers in your ears and scream
Nah na na na (nah na na na) nah na na na na na
Cause you're just like me
Oh won't you take my hand and we'll be...
