So you may already know the somewhat awkward story behind the Plain White T's hit "Hey There Delilah." But what you may not have known is that Neil Diamond was writing stalkerish songs long before Tom Higgenson ever met Delilah DiCrescenzo. Apparently Neil Diamond wrote "Sweet Caroline" for Caroline Kennedy after after seeing her on the cover of Life magazine in an equestrian riding outfit. Regardless of the song's motivation it's a classic that everyone should be able to enjoy.

Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along
Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would
And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you
Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would
Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good
