Lou Reed - Caroline Says
Review by Dennis Ikink
Caroline Says is the sixth studio album by American musician Lou Reed, released in 1973. The album features ten tracks, including the titular song "Caroline Says" and "The Kids," which were both released as singles.
This album showcases Reed's poetic songwriting abilities, with lyrics that are often introspective and thought-provoking. The instrumentation is also notable, with a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and saxophone adding depth and texture to the songs.

She wants a man, not just a boy
Oh, Caroline says, ooh Caroline says
Caroline says she can't help but be mean
Or cruel, or oh so it seems
Oh, Caroline says, Caroline says
She say she doesn't want a man who leans
Still she is my Germanic Queen
Yeah, she's my Queen
The things she does, the things she says
People shouldn't treat others that way
But at first I thought I could take it all
Just like poison in a vial, hey she was often very vile
But of course, I thought I could take it all
Caroline says that I'm not a man
So she'll go get it catch as catch can
Oh, Caroline says, yeah, Caroline says
Caroline says moments in time
Can't continue to be only mine
Oh, Caroline says, yeah, Caroline says
She treats me like I am a fool
But to me she's still a German Queen
Ooh, she's my Queen
Queen ...
