Got your eyes open but you cannot see 

Got what you want do you got what you need? 

Til one day you see something you cannot bear 

Telling you girl yes you better beware 



Her papa loved her so much you could see 

Loved her too much if you know what I mean 

So she left home young yes she moved down to town 

Looking for love that she never found 



She played it hard and yes she played it rough 

Made her feel safe and it made her feel tough 

And rock by rock she built those walls everyday 

Built herself a tower so far away 



From up high in that castle 

She knew no one could get too close to touch 

And if life and death were such a game why did they all make such a fuss? 

And if birds could fly high over their troubles 

She's gonna find some of her own wings and fly 

And no one can convince or pay her double or tell her she was too young to die 



Ohhh Caroline, Caroline 

Ohhh Caroline, Caroline 

Ohhh Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline
