Carried Away

[Verse 1]
When I first met Becky
At the home of a mutual friend
I'd've laughed out loud
If you'd have told me then
I'd fall in love with a silly little girl
Who got carried away, carried away
With every little thing

[Verse 2]
Like, for instance, Becky
Would go crazy over fashions and fads
And shriek with joy
And get overly glad
And play the radio too loud all the time
And get carried away, carried away
When some big star would sing

[Verse 3]
But I loved sweet Becky
Even though she could make me so mad
'cause I knew darned well
She was the best I had
And even when I saw she joined with the crowd
And got carried away, carried away
Learning to do her thing

[Verse 4]
But I still loved Becky
And I tried to make her realize
That the joys she found
Were sorrow in disguise
Pretty soon, all the speed would addict
And she'd get carried away, carried away
And go too far again

[Verse 5]
When I first net Becky
At the home of a mutual friend
I'd've laughed out loud
If you'd have told me then
I'd see that sweet little girl in an old gray casket
And get carried away, carried away
To hear the angels sing
Ooh, ooh
