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 'em she's having fun

She says, "you don't wanna be like me
Don't wanna see all the things I've seen"
I'm dying, I'm dying
She says you don't wanna 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
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, oh, like 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 say, "you don't wanna be like me
Looking for fun, get me high for free"
I'm dying, I'm dying
She say, "you don't wanna get this way
Street walk at night, and a star by day"

It's tiring, It's 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
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, oh, like 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 you lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now the camera's on
And you're alive again

Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
(My love, I know that you love me too)

Tu as besoin de moi, Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
(You need me, you need me in your life)

Tu ne peux vivre sans moi
(You can't live without me)

Et je mourrais sans toi
(And I'd die without you)

Je tuerais pour toi
(I'd 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
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, oh, like lightning

Like lightning, oh, like lightning

Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
