[Verse 1]
EmDarling, darling, Gdoesn't have a problem.
CLying to herself 'cause her Amliquor's top shelf.
It's aEmlarming, honestly, how Gcharming she can be.
CFooling everyone telling Amhow she's having fun.
[Pre-Chorus]
EmShe says, 'You don't want to be like me.
GDon't want to see all the things I've seen.'
I'm Cdying, I'm Amdying.
EmShe says, 'You don't want to get this way,
GFamous and dumb at an early age.'
CLying, I'm Amlying.
[Chorus]
The Emboys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
She Cgives them butterflies, bats her Amcartoon Bmeyes.
She Emlaughs like God, her mind's like a diamond.
CAudio-tune lies. AmShe's stilBml shining
CLike lightniAmng, ooh-ooCh, white lightnAmingAm7.Am  
[Verse 2]
EmCarmen, Carmen, Gstaying up till morning.
COnly seventeen, Ambut she walks the streets so mean.
EmIt's alarming, tGruly, how disarming you can be.
CEating soft ice Amcream, Coney Island queen.
[Pre-Chorus]
EmShe says, 'You don't want to be like me,
GLooking for fun, getting high for free.'
CI'm dying, AmI'm dying.
EmShe says, 'You don't want to get this way,
GStreet walk at night and a star by day.'
CIt's tiring, Amtiring.
[Chorus]
The Emboys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
She Cgives them butterflies, bats her Amcartoon Bmeyes.

[Bridge]
DBaby's all dressed up with noEmwhere to go.
BmThat's the little story of the Cgirl you know.
RDelying on the kindness of Emstrangers,
CTying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favours.
AmPut your red dress on, put your lipstick onC.
Sing your song, song, now the camera's on.
AmAnd you're alive again.
Fmadd9Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimeEm7s aussi,

Tu ne peux plus vivre sans Em7moi
Et Cje mourrais sans toi.
Je Amtuerais pour Bmtoi.
