The Carol That I Know

I got a new suspicion that put me in a spin
Is there a heart division, is this the part where I come in?
I chase the tale I’m in, oh no

She left the back door open, so I let myself in
She’s gone and I am hoping that she won’t find out where I’ve been
I lie when she comes in, oh no

The Carol that I know, she won’t leave me
Carol why do you have to treat me so unkind?
No, that’s not the Carol that I know

The first time that I saw her, I knew I’d make her mine
Still I could not be bothered to open up and read the sign
I can’t take back the time, oh no

She is the kind of woman that makes a hard man fall
And now I am dissolving the puzzle pieces I can’t solve
My back’s against the wall, oh no

The Carol that I know, she won’t leave me
Carol why do you have to treat me so unkind?
No, that’s not the Carol that I know

The Carol that I know, she won’t leave me
Carol why do you have to treat me so unkind?
No, that’s not the Carol that I know
That I know, that I…
No, that’s not the Carol that I know
