Text: Michael Bolton. Carrie.

Carrie is a girl
Disillusioned by the world and her crazy man
So she takes her vows
And she swears no matter how she'll never fall again

Carrie, who can blame you
If you find some kind of refuge in your solitude?
But there's gotta come a time
When your passion for your freedom makes a slave of you

She lives in a dream to wait for a dream
Who waits for tomorrow, she said, "Wait, wait, wait"

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?

Carrie once again
In the company of friends 'cause she's so alone
Ever so aware of a part of her
That no one's ever really known

Come a another day when she'll find
A way to fade into the scenery
Carrie are you alive or just going through the motions
Like you seem to be

She lives in a dream to wait for a dream
Who waits for tomorrow, she said, "Wait, wait, wait"

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside?

Now Carrie don't you fight it
No don't even try
'Cause in your heart what's been decided
Just will not be denied

Am I getting through to you?
Am I getting through to you?
All I wanna do to you is take you for a ride
Oh Carrie

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run

Carrie don't you run
Carrie don't you run
