  			G                                       
Well I was out cruisin' getting late and I was losin'  
                                               D  
When I saw you walking my way  
  
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want  
                                                  G  
well so do I and I ain't losing today  
  
Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging  
                                                     D  
You were driving me out of my mind  
  
On a hot afternoon with nothing to do   
                                                                      G  
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find  
  
  
So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder  
                                                       D  
as you turned and you looked my way  
  
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive  
                                                     G  
If I'd have said what I wanted to say,  
  
So being polite said what you doin' tonight  
                                                D  
You said just so happens I'm free  
  
you got all the right curves and all the right words,  
                                   G  
And that's all right by me  
  
  
       C                                                  G  
Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away  
                                                           D  
You got me countin' my nights and days  
                                                  G  
Oh I am floating on the milky way  
       C                                  G  
Oh Carol nobody's done it before  
                                             D  
Oh baby you've opened the door  
                                               G  
Oh Carol you can do it some more  
  
  
  
Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss  
                                               D  
she said hold on a minute or two  
  
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me  
                                              G  
I said baby what's troubling you  
  
She said I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean  
                                                   D  
So we sat and we talked for a while  
  
and when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist  
                                                  G  
And I must say she did it with style  
  
  
  
       C                                                  G  
Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away  
                                                           D  
You got me countin' my nights and days  
                                                  G  
Oh I am floating on the milky way  
       C                                  G  
Oh Carol nobody's done it before  
                                             D  
Oh baby you've opened the door  
                                               G
