[Verse 1]
Been in the hospital for days
All of the guys my floor think we're boys now
But they don't catch me counting like this: one down 2 left
And how can I tell if it's drugs or my feelings
[PreChorus]
What if I don't see the point in everybody wasting so much time
And energy worrying about my thing--it's my thing
[Chorus]
Oh now Caroline no one's gonna live my life for me
Oh now Caroline no one's gonna live my life for me
Hold on, hold on no one's gonna live my life for me

[Verse 2]
It's in our nature to engage
With the voice from within urging us into action
But I can't tell if your voice crept inside me
So lemme make sure that I'm making my own mind up
[PreChorus]
What if I don't see the point in everybody wasting so much time
And energy worrying about my thing--it's my thing
[Chorus]
Oh now Caroline no one's gonna live my life for me
Oh now Caroline no one's gonna live my life for me
Hold on, hold on no one's gonna live my life for me
Oh now Caroline I don't wanna be you
[Bridge]
And in the girls wing
They care for you
And maybe I'm a little feminine now
[Chorus]
Oh now Caroline no one's gonna live my life for me
Oh now Caroline no one's gonna live my life for me
Hold on, hold on no one's gonna live my life for me
Oh now Caroline I don't wanna be you
