I was lousy at math, a failed historian
Carlene was the valedictorian
I was the quarterback in the back of class
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses
It's been a long time since I've been around
Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground
I ended up by the old school yard
And this red head pulls up in a blue sports car
And says, "I bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever."
It took a second to put it all together and I said
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good gosh Carlene
You sure are lookin good
She said, ?Hop in let's go for a spin
Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been?
I said, ?I write songs, you probably didn't know, but I
Finally got a couple out on country radio?
She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny, I've got a
Ph.D now I'm modeling for money."
Imagine little miss 4 point 0 just
Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue
I said, ?You've come a long way since graduation, let me say without
reservation
You've surpassed everyone's expectations?
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good gosh Carlene
You sure are lookin good
I said, ?I hope to see you again someday?
She said, ?Another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my momma's at eight?
I said
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
