Artist/Band: Carly Simon
Lyrics for Song: The Carter Family
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Series [2012]



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
