Lyrics

[00:00.00] The Carter Family (2023 Remaster) - Carly Simon
[00:00.05] Lyrics by:Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman
[00:00.10] Arranged by:Kirby Johnson
[00:00.15] Produced by:Richard Perry
[00:00.50] The Carter family lived next door for almost 14 years
[00:08.24] With Gwen and I inseperatable from rag dolls through brassieres
[00:15.71] Then Gwen began to bore me with her giggles and her fears
[00:23.26] The day the Carters moved away I had to fake my tears
[00:36.66] I told new friends Gwen Carter had become a silly pest
[00:44.39] And then I found I missed her more than
[00:51.88] I'd ever have guessed
[00:57.66] Grandma used to nag
[00:59.54] At me to straighten up my spine
[01:04.95] To act respectful and read good books
[01:08.48] To take care of what was mine
[01:12.90] I hated being criticized and asking her permission
[01:21.06] So what if her advise was wise
[01:24.26] It always hurt to listen
[01:33.80] I didn't cry when Granny died
[01:37.96] She made me so depressed
[01:42.07] And then I found I missed her more than
[01:49.96] I'd ever have guessed
[01:55.12] You used to make me moan in bed
[01:59.16] But that can't be enough
[02:02.88] My friends complained your jokes were crude
[02:06.82] Your manners were too rough
[02:10.50] Don't know just what I wanted
[02:13.75] But I know I wanted more
[02:18.61] Someone smooth presentable to blend with my decor
[02:32.18] And now at night I think of how you grinned
[02:37.38] When you undressed
[02:40.75] And I find I miss you more than
[02:48.03] I'd ever have guessed
