Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caroline laughs and it's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight
[PreChorus]
She turns herself around and she smiles and she says
"This is it, that's the end of the joke"
And loses herself in her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk through in their coats
[Chorus]
She's
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
[Verse 2]
All of her lovers all talk of her notes
And the flowers that they never sent
And wasn't she easy?
Isn't she pretty in pink?
[PreChorus]
The one who insists he was first in the line
Is the last to remember her name
He's walking around in this dress that she wore
She is gone, but the joke's the same
[Chorus]
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
[Verse 3]
Caroline talks to you softly sometimes
She says "I love you" and "Too much"
She doesn't have anything you want to steal
Well, nothing you can touch
[PreChorus]
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide
[Chorus]
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
[Verse 4]
Caroline's on the table, screaming
Confidence is in the sea
All their favourite rags are worn
And other kinds of uniform
They kid you you are really free
And you are what you want to be
Chasing individuality until tomorrow
[Verse 5]
And everything you are you'll see
In pure shiny buttons
Put you in this gear
The driveway's broken
The doorbell sings its chimes and plays Anything Goes
They all talk in rhymes
They all talk in–
