The Taming Of Carolyn Lyrics

Carolyn's a piece of coal in a world with a lust for diamonds 

She really likes to dance but never gets a chance 

Oh to realize her goals, and noone knew this more than I did 

Ah, Carolyn please focus in 



She's tired of all the streetfighting 

And when will it ever end? 

She's practically missed that dream train 



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 some place 

How does it feel? 

When you've got more than a bit part in this play she's in 

Oh no, the taming of Carolyn 



They put a price on what she's learned 

A subtle twist in her position 

Her mother's worst fears are confirmed 

She's taken off with some musician 

What kind of life is that for the child of a doormat? 



Other fathers were hitting baseballs 

While her dad was hitting the sauce 

With never a moment's thought toward what was gained... 

And what was lost 



Can't you see? 

You're asking for something she can't be 

Can't you see? 

Some things are solid gold we thought were only tin 

And though she prefers Carolina 

Everybody seems to call her Carolyn 



Carolyn 

When they bring you to tears 

Just put your fingers in your ears and scream 

Nah na na na... 

'Cause you're just like me 

Oh won't you take my hand and we'll be...
