Was an honest man
  Asked me for the phone
  Tried to take control
  Oh I don't see it that way
  I don't see it that way
    We shared some ideas
  All obsessed with fame
  Says we're all the same
  I don't see it that way
  I don't see it that way
    Raised in Carolina
  I'm not like that
  Tryin' to remind her
  When we go back
    I missed the last bus
  I'll take the next train
  I try, but you see
  It's hard to explain
  I said the right things
  But act the wrong way
  I like it right here
  But I cannot stay
  I watched the TV
  Forget what I'm told
  Well I am too young
  And they are too old
  The joke is on you
  This place is a zoo
  You're right, it's true
    He said he can't decide
  I shake my head to say
  Everythings just great
  Oh I just can't remember
  I just can't remember
    Raised in Carolina (she says)
  I'm not like that
  Trying to remind her
  When we go back
    I say the right things
  But act the wrong way
  I like it right here
  But I cannot stay
  I watched the TV
  Forget what I'm told
  I am too young
  And they are too old
  I'll make it you see
  I'm ever so pleased
  Pretend to be nice
  So I can be mean
  I missed the last bus
  I'll take the next train
  I try, but you see
  It's hard to explain
