[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins] When you teach this little girl to walk Her laughter will be mine There's a price to pay For a safe place to hide Tell me are you warm inside Tell the truth, woman, just this time It seems that things could've been different But I can't change it
[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins] Like a big black cloud coming down It feels like I blew it I never said you were messing around But we could both see through it Tell the truth, woman, just this time For both of us Both of us Both of us
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] So alright Caroline I won't take nothing from you And alright Caroline I won't even tell the truth And I'm right
[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins] Time moves faster today But let's not speak of this Some things you cannot mend, yeah And I'm watching her sleep She's beautiful And you tell me that I won't be seeing you again You didn't even ask me If it was alright If it was alright If it was alright If it was alright I never claimed to understand you But I feel you I feel you I never claimed to understand you But I feel you I feel you
[Outro: Stephan Jenkins] It's gonna take a long time To grow young again, yeah, I know It's gonna take a long time To grow young again, I know It's gonna take a long time (Alright Caroline) To grow young again, I know (Alright Caroline) It's gonna take a long time (Alright Caroline) To grow young again, I know (Alright Caroline)
