Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walkin' my way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I, and I ain't losin' today
Well, your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'
You were drivin' me out of my mind
On a hot afternoon, when there's nothin' to do
You're not the sort of thing a fella should find
[Verse 2]
So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder
As you turned and ya looked my way
Oh you would have died, or you'd have skinned me alive
If I'd have said what I wanted to say
So, bein' polite, said, "what you doin' tonight?"
You said, "just so happens I'm free"
You got all the right curves, and all the right words
And that's alright by me
[Verse 3]
Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floatin' on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more
[Verse 4]
Well, if you're ready for this, when we started to kiss
She said, "hold on a minute or two"
Well, naturally, I knew it couldn't be me
I said, "oh, baby, what's troublin' you?"
[Verse 5]
She said, "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean,"
And so we sat and we talked for a while
And when we finally kissed, you know she didn't resist
And, I must say, she did it with style
[Verse 6]
Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floatin' on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more
Alright
[Verse 7]
Well, I was out cruisin, gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walkin' my way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I, and I ain't losin' today
[Verse 8]
Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floatin' on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more
[Verse 9]
Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floatin' on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more
Oh, Carol, baby, you can do it some more
