Lyrics: CARRIE Mama don't you think it's time I should try to get along MARGARET (spoken) What ever are you going on about Carrietta? CARRIE I don't have a lot of friends I wish I could fit right in MARGARET (spoken) Being different is the Lord’s blessing, Carrie. CARRIE Mama can't we stop and talk?\ There's this boy named Tommy Ross . . MARGARET Carrietta CARRIE I’ve been invited to the Prom MARGARET Prom CARRIE He asked me twice I still can't believe I said yes Gosh he's so nice But Mama, I still have to make my dress Now I want to know what you think Something in pink Mama I'm scared I never learned how to dance I'm so unprepared But what should I do when he takes my hand This is all I dreamed it could be Mama What if he falls in love with me MARGARET I remember how those boys could dance Pressing close on Friday nights They could sweep me away CARRIE (spoken) Momma? MARGARET Oh, how those boys were Demons of romance In their cars we'd chase the lights I know just how boys will behave CARRIE (spoken) You'll like this boy Momma, he's not like the others. He's so sweet and polite, he's nice Momma. You'll like him, you'll see, really you will. Everyone isn't bad, Momma, everything's not a sin. MARGARET Oh, how your father whispered in my ear First the kiss and then the touch Mixing lies with the truth He would sigh and try to draw me near Oh, he'd swear he cared so much That's what the boys do They'll make promises They will break your heart Then they'll laugh at you Watching you fall apart Don't you think that I know Don't you think this has happened before It's the smell of the blood that will drive them mad Chasing you like a whore CARRIE No MARGARET Yes - don't you know their game Have you lost your mind Can't you see Satan's passion has made you blind And this boy's like the rest. And they're all like the serpents who crawl. You can beg all you want to but I recall CARRIE But I did nothing wrong I've been good for so long It's the very first time MARGARET I'm afraid for your soul CARRIE Mama it's not a crime MARGARET You'll be out of control CARRIE Tommy asked me to go MARGARET You will turn that boy down CARRIE It's too late to say "No" MARGARET Or we'll move from this town CARRIE Once you meet him you'll find . . . MARGARET You're a moth to his flame CARRIE He's so gentle and kind MARGARET Men are all the same Don't you know their game Have you lost your mind Can't you see Satan's passion has made you blind And this boy's like the rest And they're all like the serpents who crawl CARRIE You don't even understand MARGARET You can beg all you want to but I recall How your father came to me that night CARRIE That doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to me MARGARET With the smell of smoke and gin CARRIE Give me a chance and you'll see MARGARET With the lust in his eyes And he took me and touched me I tried to fight CARRIE God Mama have you heard even one word that I've said MARGARET Satan made your father sin CARRIE Sometimes I wish you were dead MARGARET But the sin never dies CARRIE (spoken) I said yes, Momma, I said yes! MARGARET (spoken) Come and pray! CARRIE (spoken) No more praying, Momma! MARGARET (spoken) No! No! No! No! No! CARRIE I am not afraid of you at all I have nothing left to lose I have power I can use Nothing you can ever say or do will stop me again

You are amazing!! I was hoping there would be an instrumental of the 1988 version.

Beautiful, Amazing backing track! The only thing that stuck out to me was some of the orchestral parts (particularly the strings) sounded a bit fake, I would highly recommend “bbc symphony orchestra” and “Orchestra Tools” for their strings and woodwinds. BBC Symphony Orchestra is completely free to use, while Orchestra Tools has a variety of paid software instruments and free ones. Orchestra tool’s strings in the sine factory section sound beautiful and so real. But other than that your backing tracks are so beautiful! Keep on doing the amazing work!
