With your hair so white you could light up the night 
Burning out like a shooting star 
From the stage to The Squeeze, from TV to striptease 
I loved you in the back of my car 
Nobody's gonna tell you what to do 
Nobody's gonna mess around with you 
You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White 

R:
Cathy come home, where have you been, it's been so long since you went away 
From monochrome to the silver screen, the Battersea Bardot, that's what they say 

With that smile in your eyes you could tell me no lies 
Play it hard, take the smooth with the rough 
Just a pearl in world full of users of girls 
One jump ahead for a while, not long enough 
Nobody's gonna tell you what to do 
Nobody's gonna mess around with you 
You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White
