My darling, I have wronged you
Down the devil´s path, I have roamed
Regret, sadness, and sorrow
Now, in my soul, have found a home

My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms, I´ve strayed
In your heart may you find
Forgiveness I pray
A fool to temptation
I surely played
I come to you now for salvation
Have mercy in love´s name
My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms, I´ve strayed
In your heart may you find
Forgiveness I pray (hey!)

The chilling cry of sin´s wrath
Sounds like thunder through my head
I find no rest, now no comfort
In a cold, dark, lonely bed

My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms, I´ve strayed
In your heart may you find
Forgiveness I pray
A fool to temptation
I surely played
I come to you now for salvation
Have mercy in love´s name
My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms, I´ve strayed
In your heart may you find
Forgiveness I pray (ha!)
