Darlin', darlin'
doesn't have a problem
Lyin' 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 want to see
all the things I've seen
I'm dyin', I'm dyin' "
She says "You don't
want to get this way
famous and dumb
at no age
I'm lyin', I'm lyin' "
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 shinin'
Like lightning
woah oh oh
Like light-ni-i-ing
Carmen, Carmen
staying up till morning
only seventeen
but she walks the streets
so mean
It's alarming truly
how disarming
you can be eatin'
soft ice cream
Coney Island queen
She says "You don't
want to be like me
lookin' for fun
gettin' high for free
I'm dyin', I'm dyin' "
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
buy her tonight
she's still shinin'
Like lightning
woah oh oh
Like light-ni-i-ing
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 favours
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
aussi
Tu as besoin
de moi
tu as besoin de
moi dans votre vie
Tu ne peux
vivre sans moi
Et je mourrai
sans toi
je tuerais pour toi
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 shinin'
Like lightning
woah oh oh
Like light-ni-i-ing
Like lightning
woah oh oh
Like light-ni-i-ing
Darlin', darlin'
doesn't have a problem
lyin' to herself
'cause her liquor's
