"Carmen"

Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem

Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf

It's alarming honestly how charming she can be

Fooling everyone, telling them she's having fun

She says, "You don't want to be like me

Don't wanna see all the things I've seen."

I'm dying, I'm dying

She says, "You don't want to get this way

Famous and dumb at an early age."

Lying, I’m lying

The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond

Audio tune lies, she's still shining

Like lightning, ohh, white lightning

Carmen, Carmen, staying up til morning

Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean

It's alarming truly how disarming you can be

Eating soft ice cream

Coney Island Queen

She says, "You don't want to be like me

Looking for fun, getting high for free."

I'm dying, I'm dying

She says, "You don't want to get this way

Street walk at night, and a star by day."

It's tiring, tiring

The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond

Audio tune lies, she's still shining

Like lightning, ohh, white lightning

Baby's all dressed up with nowhere to go

That's the little story of the girl you know

Relying on the kindness of strangers

Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favors

Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on

Sing your song, song, now the camera's on

And you're alive again

Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussiTu as besoin de moiTu as besoin de moi dans ta vieTu ne peux plus vivre sans moiEt je mourrais sans toiJe tuerais pour toi

(English translation:My love, I know you love me, tooYou need me,You need me in your life,You can not live without me,And I'd die without you,I would kill for you)

The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond

Audio tune lies, she's still shining

Like lightning, ohh, white lightning

Like lightning, ohh, white lightning

Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem

Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
