The Carter family lived next door for almost 14 years
   With Gwen and I inseperatable from rag dolls through brassieres
   Then Gwen began to bore me with her giggles and her fears
   The day the Carters moved away, I had to fake my tears
   I told new friends Gwen Carter had become a silly pest
   And then I found I missed her more than I'd ever have guessed
  
   Grandma used to nag at me to straighten up my spine
   To act respectful and read good books
   To take care of what was mine
   I hated being criticized and asking her permission
   So what if her advise was wise, It always hurt to listen
   I didn't cry when Granny died, she made me so depressed
   And then I found I missed her more than I'd ever have guessed
  
   You used to make me moan in bed, but that can't be enough
   My friends complained your jokes were crude,
   Your manners were too rough
   Don't know just what I wanted, but I know I wanted more
   Someone smooth, presentable, to blend with my decor
   And now at night I thin kof how you grinned when you undressed
   And I find I miss you more than I'd ever have guessed.
