[Verse 1]

Ooh, now, Carole, don't get ahead of yourself

Don't say nothing right now

'Cause, ooh, I'll take it

Anywhere you let it go

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Everything moving so fast

It'll take you a place where you can't get back

And I've seen it enough

You gotta make me shut up

[Chorus]

So there's something to look forward to

Ooh, give me something to look forward to

[Verse 2]

Your mistakes, your merciless eye

Your Chicago manual of style

It only's got to go just as far as we let it go

So, Carole, let me know

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So many things we could say

So many things we could let get out

But you stay in instead

Some things are best left unsaid

[Chorus]

Give me something to look forward to

Ooh, now, now, give me something to look forward to

Ooh, give me something to look forward to

Give me something to look forward to
