Caroline The Wrecking Ball Lyrics

There something about the way we fall apart
Like everything that matters, didn't matter from the start
Everyone around us played a part
Wrecking ball came crashing through the windows
Structures that we carry in our heartAnd all I ever asked of you
Is just to be the woman that you wanted to
It's all I ever askedJust outside the city on a Sunday last July
The girl's name was Brandy but we called her Caroline
No one even knew her history
Said she came from somewhere in the southland
Feels like she was coming straight for meI was playing nine ball with two guys I knew from work
This junkie local starts acting like a jerk
Saw him put his hand up Brandy's skirt
And I don't know what happened next
In retrospect I lost my head and think I went berserkBy the time they pulled me off him I was almost coming to
Bleeding at the knuckles, she says nice to meet you
And the cops will probably be here in a flash
We hailed a cab we both got in

And watched that taxi driver slam his foot down on the gasMust be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
But I ain't nobody's foolNext few months we spent a lot of time up in the room
Laughed a lot, drank a lot, yeah we tried to shoot the moon
And in the morning time she'd always disappear
I agreed, I'd never ask her questions
With the chance of an answer I don't wanna hearOne morning, she crying on the stoop outside my place
She tryin' to hide it, there's sadness on her face
Oh is there anything I can do?
She said perhaps if you would drop this package off
I would hate to inconvenience youWell they say a suckers born, every sixty seconds time
I knew I shouldn't do it, but I put it from my mind
And, oh if you knew that gal of mine
You'd understand, I got no hand in making that decision
Reason got no rhymeMust be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
But I ain't nobody's fool
Nobody's fool no moreI knocked at the address that she gave waited for a few
Looked inside the window and I saw a kid or two
Next thing I knew a burner in my face
There's just some shit you never can eraseBoth my hands were shaking as the sun began to rise
I got back to my house, she was gone I'm not surprised
You can never ground a bird that needs to fly
Oh I got into that urge to move
Thanks to you, my wrecking ball CarolineMust be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with you
Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with you
But I ain't nobody's fool
Nobody's fool no more
No more
