Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Carolyn
Let me tell you what I heard about a man today
He didn't come home from work and he went away
Till he came to a city
Bright in the nighttime like day
[Verse 2]
There they say he met up with
Some women dressed in yellow and scarlet
Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey
And somethin' about the smell of strange perfume
Made him feel warm and not alone
[Chorus]
Yes, Carolyn
A man will do that sometimes on his own
And sometimes when he's lonely
I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
But, Carolyn
A man will do that always
When he's treated bad at home
[Chorus]
Yes, Carolyn
A man will do that sometimes on his own
And sometimes when he's lonely
And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
But, Carolyn
A man will do that always
When he's treated bad at home
