Are you sure you want to hear more?
What if I ain’t worth the while
Not the style you’d be looking for?
If I’m sweet tonight
Things look different in the morning light
I’m jealous and I’m proud
If you hurt my feelings I’ll cry out loud
I’m Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you’d-marry
That’s me
Are you sure you want to hear more?
Would I be the one you seek
Mild and meek like the girl next door?
Don’t you realize
I may be an angel in disguise?
It’s lonely to be free
But I’m not a man’s toy, I’ll never be
I’m Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you’d-marry
That’s me
I don’t believe in fairy-tales
Sweet nothings in my ear (na, na, na, na, nothing)
(Na, na, na, na, nothing)
But I do believe in sympathy
That’s me, you see
Are you sure you want to hear more?
Won’t you have a drink with me?
Just to see you’re not really sore
I can’t help my ways
I’m just not the girl to hide my face
I’m Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you’d-marry
That’s me
I’m Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you’d-marry
That’s me
There’s a special love
Like an eagle flying with a dove
I’ll find it in the end
If I keep on searching, but until then
I’m Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you’d-marry
That’s me
