Oh, Carol, I am but a fool
Darling, I love you tho’ you treat me cruel
You hurt me and you made me cry
But if you leave me I will surely die
Darling, there will never be another
‘Cause I love you so
Don’t ever leave me
Say you’ll never go
I will always want you for my sweetheart
No matter what you do
Oh, Carol, I’m so in love with you
—- Instrumental Interlude —-
Oh, Carol, I am but a fool
Darling I love you tho’ you treat me cruel
You hurt me and you made me cry
But if you leave me I will surely die
Darling, there will never be another
‘Cause I love you so
Don’t ever leave me
Say you’ll never go
I will always want you for my sweetheart
No matter what you do
Oh, Carol, I’m so in love with you
This song was written for Neil’s former girlfriend, Carol Klein
We know her as Carol King
She was already married to Gerry Goffin by this time
They wrote a “reply” of sorts, “Oh Neil”
It went absolutely nowhere
No wonder, it was even worse than this “ditty”
