Hard To Explain
The Strokes

Was an honest man

Asked me for the phone

I tried to take control

Oh I don't see it that way

I don't see it that way


We shared some ideas

All obssessed with fame

Says we're all the same

Oh I don't see it that way

I don't see it that way


Raised in Carolina

I'm not like that

Trying to remind her

When we go back


I missed the last bus

I take the next train

I try, but you see

It's hard to explain

I say the right things

But act the wrong way

I like it right here

But I cannot stay

I watch the tv

Forget what I'm told

Well I am too young

And they are too old

The joke is on you

Cos this is a zoo


You're right, it's true


He says he can't decide

I shake my head to say

Everythings just great

Oh I just can't remember

I just can't remember


Raised in Carolina (She says)

I'm not like that

Trying to remind her

When we go back

I say the right things

But act the wrong way

I like it right here

But I cannot stay

I watch the tv

Forget what I'm told

Well I am too young

And they are too old

I'll make it you see

I'm ever so pleased

Pretend to be nice

So I can be mean

I missed the last bus

I take the next train

I try, but you see

It's hard to explain
