I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine (Caroline)
When I knew her, she was younger, but then so was I (Caroline)
Lazy child, she was always making fun of the girls who worked all their lives
She said that she'll survive, but instead she's going under
Maybe got something to do with the fact that
Caroline - she was an outcast, a typical smart-ass
Caroline - she was a drop-out, a permanent cop-out
Drop-out, drop-out, drop-out (bis)
If you want it, here's a portrait, of a wasted mind (Caroline)
Don't condemn her, don't commend her
Don't give pearls to swine (Caroline)
Mangy child, now she dances at The Pussycat on the topless day
Somehow the girl kept slidin'
And she steady going under
Maybe got something to do with the fact that
Caroline - she was an outcast, a typical smart-ass
Caroline - she was a drop-out, a permanent cop-out
Drop-out, drop-out, drop-out (bis)
She had the tendency
To blame society
I got no sympathy
She had the same opportunities as me
Caroline, Caroline,
Crazy child, she preferred the sordid company of shiftless older guys
And she was once in style, oh but now she's on the bottom
Maybe got something to do with the fact that
Caroline - she was an outcast, a typical smart-ass
Caroline - she was a drop-out, a permanent cop-out
Drop-out, drop-out, drop-out (bis)
She had the tendency
To blame society
I got no sympathy
She had the same opportunities as me
Oh, Caroline was a drop-out
When I knew her, she was younger, but then so was I (Caroline)
Lazy child, she was always making fun of the girls who worked all their lives
She said that she'll survive, but instead she's going under
Maybe got something to do with the fact that
Caroline - she was an outcast, a typical smart-ass
Caroline - she was a drop-out, a permanent cop-out
Drop-out, drop-out, drop-out (bis)
If you want it, here's a portrait, of a wasted mind (Caroline)
Don't condemn her, don't commend her
Don't give pearls to swine (Caroline)
Mangy child, now she dances at The Pussycat on the topless day

And she steady going under
Maybe got something to do with the fact that
Caroline - she was an outcast, a typical smart-ass

Drop-out, drop-out, drop-out (bis)
She had the tendency

Caroline, Caroline,

Oh, Caroline was a drop-out
