Phil Vassar - Carlene Lyrics
(phil vassar/charlie black/rory michael bourke)I was lousy at math, failed historianCarlene was the valedictorianI was the quarter back in the back of classesShe was the whiz kid in horned rim glassesIts been a long time since Ive been aroundSince I stepped foot on my old stomping groundI ended up by the old school yardWhen this red head pulled up in a blue sports carShe said, I bet you dont remember, I guess its been forever.It took a second to put it all together and I said.Ooh la la la la laLooking good carleneWoh my my my my myTimes been good to youIf you know what I meanGirl you glitter like hollywoodGood God carleneYou sure are lookin goodShe said hop in lets go for a spinTell me whatcha been doing boy and where you beenI said I write songs, you probably didnt know, but iFinally got a couple out on country radioShe said, what a switch, aint life funny, Ive got a phd,Now Im modeling for money.Imagine little miss 4.0 just smiling for the camera on the cover of vogueI said youve come a long way since graduationLet me say without hesitationYouve surpassed everyones expectationsOoh la la la la laLooking good carleneWoh my my my my myTimes been good to youIf you know what I meanGirl you glitter like hollywoodGood God carleneYou sure are lookin goodI said I hope to see you again somedayShe said another ten years is too long to waitPick me up at my mommas at eight!And I said.Ooh la la la la laLooking good carleneWoh my my my my myTimes been good to youIf you know what I meanOoh la la la la laLooking good carleneWoh my my my my myTimes been good to youIf you know what I meanOoh la la la la laLooking good carleneWoh my my my my myTimes been good to youIf you know what I mean
