Verse 1
[G]I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walkin' [D]my way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losin' [G]today
[G]Well your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'
You were driving me out of my [D]mind
On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to do
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should [G]find
[G]So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder
As you turned and you looked my [D]way
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive
If I'd have said what I wanted to [G]say
[G]So bein' polite said what you doin' tonight
You said it just so happens I'm [D]free
You got all the right curves and all the right words
And that's alright by[G] me[G7]
Chorus
[C]Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart [G]away,
[G]You got me countin' my nights and [D]days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky [G]way-ay-ay-ay,[G7]
[C]Oh Carol, nobody's done it [G]before
Oh baby you've opened the [D]door,
[D]Oh Carol you can do it some [G]more
Verse 2
[G]Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss
She said hold on a minute or [D]two
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me
I said baby what's troublin' [G]you
[G]She said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean
So we sat and we talked for a [D]while
But when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist
And I must say she did it [G]with style
Chorus
[C]Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart [G]away,
[G]You got me countin' my nights and [D]days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky [G]way-ay-ay-ay,[G7]
[C]Oh Carol, nobody's done it [G]before
Oh baby you've opened the [D]door,
[D]Oh Carol you can do it some [G]more
