[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "You don't want to be like me"
You 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"
[Hook]
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them bu*terflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond
Audiotune lies, she's still shining
Like lightning, white lightning
[Verse 2]
Carmen, Carmen, staying up till morning
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
It's alarming, truly, how disarming she can be
Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
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
[Interlude]
Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
Tu as besoin de moi, tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
Tu ne peux vivre sans moi
Et je mourrais sans toi
Je tuerais pour toi
[Hook]
[Outro]
Like lightning, white lightning
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself cause her liquor's top shelf
