( 1 )Loving you has gotten weird
( 4 ) Won't bring you home again
( 5 ) Oh, Carol Lynn
( 2 ) You'll see the sun hanging low down by your window
( 3 ) And all the rain left in the world

( ) Won't keep you warm again
( ) Oh, Carol Lynn
( )And all the love left in the world
( ) And trusting you has gotten strange
( ) You'll close the door when the cold has gotten in

( )When you need a friend to be there for you
( ) And when you need someone who can let you in
( ) You can count me out
( ) I won't be one who will help you out
( )Oh, Carol Lynn

( ) Oh, Carol Lynn
( ) Can't take you back again
( )And all the money in the world
( ) You'll have the past left for you to think about
( ) When your life has worn you out
