That's not my name
Doesn't anybody ever get it right
Carrie
Why don't they remember I am Carrie White?
Carrie
Is it any harder to say then
That damn toad and spastic and weirdo and dumb bitch
Doesn't anybody think that I can hear?
I hear
'Speically when I've got them screaming in my ear
I hear
Every day they mock me and push me around
'Til I drop
If I had a wish, God, I wish they'd stop
Sometimes their hatred is out of control
God how they hurt me
Mama says "suffering is good for the soul"
But they hurt me
And if I could, I'd bring them all
Down to their knees
I'd make them sorry forever for teasing
Carrie, Carrie, Carrie
I will not cry
I'm okay
I try so hard to play their way
Why do they find it so hard to say
Carrie?
Why do they always treat me so bad
They all know my name?
It's Carrie
I don't know why they all got so mad
It's always the same
What's going on deep in me
All of these feelings suddenly?
If I am changing, will I still be
Carrie?
Or what if I am somebody new?
Imagine, the things I might do
I might take a chance
I've always wondered how
Maybe I'll dance
And try hard to laugh more than I do now
Finally, I'd hear that word
Sounding so sweet
Thousands of voices forever repeating
Carrie, Carrie, Carrie
I am the sound of distant thunder
That color of flame
I'm Carrie
I am a song of endless wonder
That no one will claim
But someday, oh my, someday
Someone will know my name
