Caroline the Wrecking Ball

There something about the way we fall apart Like everything that matters, didn't matter from the start Everyone around us played a part Wrecking ball came crashing through the windows Structures that we carry in our heart And all I ever asked of you Is just to be the woman that you wanted to It's all I ever asked Just outside the city on a Sunday last July The girl's name was Brandy but we called her Caroline No one even knew her history Said she came from somewhere in the southland Feels like she was coming straight for me I was playing nine ball with two guys I knew from work This junkie local starts acting like a jerk Saw him put his hand up Brandy's skirt And I don't know what happened next In retrospect I lost my head and think I went berserk By the time they pulled me off him I was almost coming to Bleeding at the knuckles, she says nice to meet you And the cops will probably be here in a flash We hailed a cab we both got in And watched that taxi driver slam his foot down on the gas Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you But I ain't nobody's fool Next few months we spent a lot of time up in the room Laughed a lot, drank a lot, yeah we tried to shoot the moon And in the morning time she'd always disappear I agreed, I'd never ask her questions With the chance of an answer I don't wanna hear One morning, she crying on the stoop outside my place She tryin' to hide it, there's sadness on her face Oh is there anything I can do? She said perhaps if you would drop this package off I would hate to inconvenience you Well they say a suckers born, every sixty seconds time I knew I shouldn't do it, but I put it from my mind And, oh if you knew that gal of mine You'd understand, I got no hand in making that decision Reason got no rhyme Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you But I ain't nobody's fool Nobody's fool no more I knocked at the address that she gave waited for a few Looked inside the window and I saw a kid or two Next thing I knew a burner in my face There's just some shit you never can erase Both my hands were shaking as the sun began to rise I got back to my house, she was gone I'm not surprised You can never ground a bird that needs to fly Oh I got into that urge to move Thanks to you, my wrecking ball Caroline Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with you Oh oh oh, must be a fool like me to be with you But I ain't nobody's fool Nobody's fool no more No more
