Oh Caroline
My life shined when you walked in
Oh Caroline
My world shined when you came in

And if I go all over the world
I wouldn’t find another lover like you
And if I knew a million girls, Caroline

Go to the end of the world for your love
Go to the end of the world for your love

Oh Caroline
My heart shined when you came in
Oh Caroline
Life means more since you came in

And if I go all over the world
I wouldn’t find another lover like you
And if I knew a million girls, Caroline

(go to the end of the world) for your love
(go to the end of the world) for your love
(go to the end of the world) for your love, love, love oh
Caroline
(go to the end of the world) for your love

Can you feel my heart strings?
They’re on fire
You threw it all away

(go to the end of the world) oh Caroline, oh Caroline
(go to the end of the world) love, love, love, love oh Caroline
(go to the end of the world) love
(go to the end of the world) for your love, love.
