Status Quo/The Beach Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love, your love
If the nighttime is the right time
Anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love, sweet love
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take you
I've really got to make you
Come on, sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock 'n' roll
When I'm thinking of you sleeping
I'm at home alone and weeping
Are you keeping your love, sweet love?
Do you still care when I'm not there?
Do you really wish I was there?
Can I come there for love, sweet love?
Come on, sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take you
I've really got to make you
Come on, sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock 'n' roll
If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love, your love
Come on, sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take you
I've really got to make you
Come on, sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock 'n' roll

Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
(You walk like an ace now you walk like an ace)
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
(You look like an ace now you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You drive like an ace now you drive like an ace)
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Wo wo wo wo woo woo woo)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
@defender1006
Outstanding, they were obviously all having fun, two legendry bands performing a classic track together, nothing else to say.
@markc4305
Agreed, but wasn't this the track that infamously got the Quo "banned" from being played on Radio One?
@user-ud4wh6fj9f
AMEN
@kaywaters7478

What’s even worse is living during those wonderful years and then you realise you have gotten old and the wonderful times will never return
@johannesreichart
I feel you. It`s not funny getting old. But we have these memories.
@johntollis4927
One of my favourite videos, two of the all time greatest groups taking this song to the next level.
@stevenchillmaid632
Who would have thought, these two bands teaming up, love it.
