"Caroline Says I"
===================
album _Berlin_
(Lou Reed, 1973)
written by Lou Reed
===================
Caroline says that I'm just a toy
she wants a man, not just a boy
Oh Caroline says, ooohhh Caroline says
Caroline says she can't help but be mean
or cruel, or oh so it seems
Oh Caroline says, Caroline says
She says she doesn't want a man who leans
Still she is my Germanic -
- Queen
Yeah, she's my Queen
The things she does, the things she says
people shouldn't treat others that way
But at first I thought I could take it all
Just like poison in a vial
hey, she was often very vile
But of course, I thought I could take it all
Caroline says that I'm not a man
so she'll go get it catch as catch can
Oh Caroline says, yeah Caroline says
Caroline says moments in time
can't continue to be only mine
Oh Caroline says, yeah Caroline says
She treats me like I am a fool
But to me she's still a German -
- Queen, ooohhh, she's my -
- Queen, you're -
- Queen, hey baby, she's to my Queen
