Song information On this page you can find the lyrics of the song The Carter Family, artist - Carly Simon. Album song The Studio Album Collection 1971-1983, in the genre ПопThe Carter Family |
| The Carter family lived next door for almost 14 years |
| With Gwen and I inseperatable from rag dolls through brassieres |
| Then Gwen began to bore me with her giggles and her fears |
| The day the Carters moved away, I had to fake my tears |
| I told new friends Gwen Carter had become a silly pest |
| And then I found I missed her more than I’d ever have guessed |
| Grandma used to nag at me to straighten up my spine |
| To act respectful and read good books |
| To take care of what was mine |
| I hated being criticized and asking her permission |
| So what if her advise was wise, It always hurt to listen |
| I didn’t cry when Granny died, she made me so depressed |
| And then I found I missed her more than I’d ever have guessed |
| You used to make me moan in bed, but that can’t be enough |
| My friends complained your jokes were crude |
| Your manners were too rough |
| Don’t know just what I wanted, but I know I wanted more |
| Someone smooth, presentable, to blend with my decor |
| And now at night I think of how you grinned when you undressed |
| And I find I miss you more than I’d ever have guessed |
