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
