Carol
The Backbeat Band Lyrics

Oh carol, don't let him
Carol, don't allow him to take control

Steal your heart away.
Don't let him break your heart and leave you heartbroken

Well I've got to learn to dance
I have to improve my dancing skills

If it takes me all night and day.
I'm willing to put in the effort to learn how to dance, even if it takes all night and day

Well come into my machine
Get in my car

So we can move on out.
Let's leave this place

I know a jumping little joint
I know of a lively place

Where we can jump and shout.
Where we can dance and have a good time

It's not too far back on the highway
It's not too far from here, just off the highway

Not too long a ride.
It won't take too long to get there

You take your car along
Bring your car with you

And you park it outside.
You can park it outside the club

A little cutie takes your hat
A pretty girl takes your hat

And you can thank her, ma'am,
And you can show your gratitude, ma'am

'cos every time you're gonna drive,
Because every time you come here,

You find the joint is jammed.
You'll find the club is packed and busy

Well if you want to hear some music
If you're in the mood for some music

Like the boys all play,
Like the band that's playing tonight

Hold tight, tap your foot,
Hold on tight and tap your foot to the beat

Don't let it carry you away.
Don't get too carried away with the music

Don't let the heat overcome you
Don't let the excitement overwhelm you

'cos they play so loud
Because the band plays loudly

While the music will treat you
The music will make you feel good

When they get a crowd.
Especially when the club is packed with people

Well you can dance
You can dance

I know you will, you thought.
I know you want to dance, you've been thinking about it

I got my eyes on you baby,
I'm watching you, baby

'cos you dance so good.
Because you're such a fantastic dancer

If it takes me all night and day.
Once again, I'm willing to put in the effort to learn how to dance, even if it takes all night and day
