Are you sure you wanna hear more
what if I ain't worth the while
not the style you'd be lookin' for
if I'm sweet tonight
things look different in the morning light
I'm jealous and I'm proud
if you hurt my feelings
I'll cry out loud
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me
Are you sure you wanna hear more
would I be the one you seek
mild and meek like the girl next door
don't you realise
I may be an angel in disguise
it's lonely to be free
but I'm not a man's toy
I'll never be
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me
I don't believe in fairy-tales
sweet nuthins in my ear
But I do believe in sympathy
that's me, you see
Are you sure you wanna hear more
won't you have a drink with me
just to see you're not really sore
I can't help my ways
I'm just not the girl to hide my face
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me
There's a special love
like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
if I keep on searchin' but until then
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me
what if I ain't worth the while
not the style you'd be lookin' for
if I'm sweet tonight
things look different in the morning light
I'm jealous and I'm proud
if you hurt my feelings
I'll cry out loud
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me
would I be the one you seek
mild and meek like the girl next door
don't you realise
I may be an angel in disguise
it's lonely to be free
but I'm not a man's toy
I'll never be
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me
sweet nuthins in my ear
But I do believe in sympathy
that's me, you see
won't you have a drink with me
just to see you're not really sore
I can't help my ways
I'm just not the girl to hide my face
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me
like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
if I keep on searchin' but until then
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
that's me

I love this song!
love the piano part in the beginning! :D
i think this song is about a boy wanting to marry/be in a relationship with the girl, but the girl tells the boy that he's not what he think she is....
The banjo barely discernible in the background is one reason why this song is a disco-jewel. One of myfavorite songs from ABBA.
You think the song is over and then comes that great stanza: "there's a special love/ like an eagle flying with a dove" . . .
and it subconsciously references C.S.N.& Y from "Love the One You're With":
(Don't be angry, don't be sad, don't sit crying over good times you had. There's a girl, right next to you and she's just waiting for something to do. And there's a rose in a fisted glove, and the eagle flies with the dove. And if you can't be, with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with...)
