Alright Caroline Lyrics

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Tell the truth, woman, just this time
I know you can do it
Your baby's eyes look just like mine
We can both see through it
Tell the truth, woman, just this time
I didn't know how much you
Would take from me


[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

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
So alright Caroline
I won't take nothing from you
Alright Caroline
I won't even tell the truth
And I'm right

[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)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
