Miss Caroline has beautiful friends
They open all the letters she sends
They pass in the hallways once in awhile
Most people don't notice their discrete little smiles

You may think you do
But you don't have a clue
It's a world you've gotta be born into
The lifestyle ain't for you

Don't call me I'm trying to sleep
I ain't seen the sun for a week
Ah, the lights through my window
They come and they go
The world keeps on moving without me, I know

Don't say you do
'Cause you don't have a clue
It's a world you gotta be born into
The lifestyle, it ain't for you
No, it ain't for you

You might wake up in a bathtub missing a shoe
And these people won't love you the way your parents do
Baby, the lifestyle ain't for you.
