Carolyn, what must I do to win
What must I do to win
What must I do to win your love
Carolyn, how do I begin
To tell you what you mean
And how I want to be your friend

If I bring you flowers
Sunshine after the showers
If I gave you the springtime
On a card in a heart-filled line, oh...

Carolyn, what must I do to win
What must I do to win
What must I do to win your love

If I gave you the morning
The sound of the rivers roaring
If I gave the sky to you
It's always delightful and new, oh...

Carolyn, what must I do to win
What must I do to win
What must I do to win your love
Carolyn, how do I begin
To tell you what you mean
And how I want to be your friend

If I gave my Son for you
Would you see my love is true
If I called you by name and took you in
And washed away your sin, oh...

Carolyn, what must I do to win
What must I do to win
What must I do to win your love
Carolyn, oh, how, how do I begin
To tell you what you mean
And how I want to be your friend
