Are you sure you want to hear more?
What if I ain't worth the while
Not the style you'd be looking for?
If I'm sweet tonight
Things look different in the morning light
I'm jealous and I'm proud
If you hurt my feelings I'll cry out loud
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

Are you sure you want to hear more?
Would I be the one you seek
Mild and meek like the girl next door?
Don't you realize
I may be an angel in disguise?
It's lonely to be free
But I'm not a man's toy, I'll never be
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

I don't believe in fairy-tales
Sweet nothings in my ear (na, na, na, na, nothing)
(Na, na, na, na, nothing)
But I do believe in sympathy
That's me, you see

Are you sure you want to hear more?
Won't you have a drink with me?
Just to see you're not really sore
I can't help my ways
I'm just not the girl to hide my face
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

There's a special love
Like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
If I keep on searching, but until then
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

    The banjo barely discernible in the background is one reason why this song is a disco-jewel. One of myfavorite songs from ABBA.

    You think the song is over and then comes that great stanza: "there's a special love/ like an eagle flying with a dove" . . .

    and it subconsciously references C.S.N.& Y from "Love the One You're With":

    (Don't be angry, don't be sad, don't sit crying over good times you had. There's a girl, right next to you and she's just waiting for something to do. And there's a rose in a fisted glove, and the eagle flies with the dove. And if you can't be, with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with...)
