Carolyn,
Let me tell you what I've heard
'Bout a man today,
He didn't come home from work
And he went away,
Till he came to a city
Bright in the nighttime
Like day.

There they say
He met with some women
Dressed in yellow and scarlet,
Their warm lips like a honeycomb
Dripped with honey
And something about the smell
Of strange perfume
Made him feel warm and not alone.

Yes, Carolyn,
A man will do that
Sometimes on his own,
Sometimes when he's lonely.
And I believe a man will do that
Sometimes out of spite,
But Carolyn,
A man will do that always
When he's treated bad
At home.

Yes, Carolyn,
A man will do that
Sometimes on his own,
Sometimes when he's lonely.
And I believe a man will do that
Sometimes out of spite,
But Carolyn,
A man will do that always
When he's treated bad
At home.

Carolyn
