lyrics

I'll never forget when I first saw you dancin' in the square
I turned to my friends and said, "Who's that girl?
I'm gonna marry her I swear!"
They said, "Oh, well, that's Carin, but she's way out of your league."
I said, "There ain't no such thing! Just watch me boys!
You just gotta believe!"
So I tapped you on the shoulder, but you never turned around
You walked off with some other guy: The hero of the town

So I'm singin',
"Hey there, Carin! Would you care to know
I've been lovin' you from far away
Cos' I'm afraid the answer's no!"

When I saw you at the drive-in, you looked fine
But when I saw you dancin' at the Hoe-down, girl,
yeah, you nearly blew my mind
With your polka-dot dress and fancy shoes, ribbons in your hair
My friends barely stopped me before I
Got on my knees and proposed to you right there
So, I know yours, but you don't mine, so, "Hi! My name is Al!
Will you make the happiest man alive by dancin' with me now?"

Singin',
"Hey there, Carin! Would you care to know
I've been lovin' you from far away
Cos' I'm afraid the answer's no!"

You've been sayin' no to me all night long
but you're gonna change your mind when you see my moves
Cos' this is my favorite song

Singin',
"Hey there, Carin! Would you care to know
I've been lovin' you from far away
Cos' I'm afraid the answer's no!"

There's a waltz on the overhead radio now
And I'm your best bet cos' no one else knows how
So dance with me Carin
Dance with me please
I'm your only choice
I got right and left feet

Singin',
"Hey there, Carin! Would you care to know
I've been lovin' you from far away
Cos' I'm afraid the answer's no!"
