The Carter Family - Carly Simon

作词：Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman

The Carter family lived next door for almost １４ years

With Gwen and I inseperatable from rag dolls through brassieres

And Gwen began to bore me with her giggles and her fears

The day the Carters moved away I had to fake my tears

Ooohhhhh

I told new friends Gwen Carter had become a silly pest

And then I found I missed her more

Than I'd ever have guessed

Grandma used to nag at me to straighten up my spine

To act respectful and read good books

To take care of what was mine

I hated being criticized and asking her permission

So what if her advise was wise it always hurt to listen

Ooohhhhhh

I didn't cry when granny died she made me so depressed

And then I found I missed her more

Than I'd ever guessed

You used to make me moan in bed

But that can't be enough

My friends complained your jokes were crude

Your manners were too rough

Don't know just what I wanted but I know I wanted more

Someone smooth presentable to blend with my decor

Ooohhhhh

And now at night I think of how

You grinned when you undressed

And I find I miss you more

than I'd ever have guessed

Hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm
