Verse 3: And now sweet Caroline , i guess i'll ever find Another woman put together like you are With your wiggle and your walkin',and your big city talkin' Anod your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car



Verse 4: Yeah it's hurry up and wait,in this world of give and take Seems like haste makes for waste every time And i pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll You better know i'm gonna get my share of mine



Chorus.(x2)
