Caroline Lyrics

(Kirsty MacColl)

She called me up the other day
And left a message on my machine
She called to say you broke her heart
And she'd wondered if I'd seen you
I didn't know what to do, I never called her back
Oh how can I break the news like that
Now I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
Can't look in her eyes and tell her love is blind
Now I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline

How can I want you so bad
She has to lose again
How could you walk out on her
And turn to her best friend
It was wrong from the start
I wish I'd turned you away
And my head said go, but my heart, my heart said stay
And now I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her cry when she knows you're mine
Can't look in those eyes and tell her she'll be fine
Now I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline

I'm so ashamed of myself that I still want you
What a terrible thing for a friend to do
I think I've gone too far this time
I leapt across that thin blue line
God help this selfish heart of mine
Now I don't want to see Caroline
I can never face Caroline

Now I lie here with you, can't get her out my head
Do you think she knows that you share my bed
Well I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
How could a friend be so unkind
Well I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
