Oh, my sweet, sweet Caroline

How do you sleep in your bed of lies?

If you have my back, pull out the knife

Why can't you be sweet, Caroline?

I know what you did, I saw the messages

Brush over it, say the past is irrelevant

Smiled to my face, it left a bad taste in my mouth (Ah)

I thought we were friends, it's all pretty clear to see

You kept me close just to make me a enemy

For me and for you, thought there was room

But out of the blue, you're somebody new

what happened to you?

Oh, my sweet, sweet Caroline

How do you sleep in your bed of lies?

If you have my back, pull out the knife

Why can't you be sweet, Caroline?

Say you're a girl's girl, a certified beauty queen

Rumors are twirling, appearance is everything

Feign nonchalance

You've got what you want

now it's gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone)

My back to the wall, I'm not asking for sympathy

It's not my fault your boyfriend was into me

All of a sudden, you hate me religiously

Out of the blue, you're somebody new, what happened to you?

Oh, my sweet, sweet Caroline

How do you sleep in your bed of lies?

If you have my back, pull out the knife

Why can't you be sweet, Caroline?

I gave you so many chances, baby, what for?

It don't make a difference, not anymore

When I tried to be simple, you wanted war

I'm not playing this game, I'm not keeping score

So go on and gossip, forget what we had

If it makes you happy to think that I'm sad

Guess that's my mistake, thought I knew you better than that

My sweet, sweet Caroline

How do you sleep in your bed of lies?

If you have my back, pull out the knife

Why can't you be sweet, Caroline?
