Oh! Carol
Neil Sedaka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darling, I love you though you treat me cruel
You hurt me, and you made me cry
But if you leave me, I will surely die
Darling, there will never be another
'Cause I love you so
Don't ever leave me
Say you'll never go
I will always want you for my sweetheart
No matter what you do
Oh! Carol, I'm so in love with you
Oh! Carol
Darling
, you have the power
You have the power to make me grieve or smile
This heart of mine could never be free
When you're not with me
Oh! Carol, don't let me be
Darling, I need you
To be near me
For the arms I long to enfold
Will never hold anybody else but you
Oh! Carol, I am but a fool
Darling, I love you, though you treat me cruel
The lyrics to Neil Sedaka's "Oh Carol" tell of the singer's pining for someone named Carol, despite her treating him poorly. It's a tale of unrequited love: he loves her even though she hurts him and makes him cry. He insists that there will never be another and begs her not to ever leave him. He confesses his love and dependency on her, proclaiming that he's in love with her and that he will always want her as his sweetheart. The song expresses desperation and devotion, as the singer admits he is a fool for loving Carol despite her mistreatment.

Hello amazing fan.
Thank you for your beautiful comment.
I’ve seen a whole lot of “RIP” attached to my name all over the internet. This is the reason I decided to debunk this false new of my demise.
Late Ton Jones was the one who conceived the twist on Romeo and Juliet with composer, John Donald Robb. He died on the 11th of August of cancer in his home in Sharon.
Please disregard all the false publications on the internet.I’m still alive and much healthy.
Thank you beloved fan.
For further clarification,I added my personal mailing address on the description and on the Channel banner. Thank you so much, may you have a beautiful day ahead🙏🙏.
