Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself, 'cause her liquour's top shelf.
It's alarming honestly how charming she can be,
Fooling everyone, telling how 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, and no age.
My, I'm dying.

The boys, the girls, they all like carmen,
She gives them butterflies, but too coconize.
She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond,
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, light, like lightning.

Carmen, carmen, staying up till morning.
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean,
It's alarming [bad word] 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, get me high for free.
I'm dying, I'm dying.
She says you don't want to get this way,
Street walking at night, and a star by day,
It's tiring, tiring.

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,
Time and cherry marks while 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, (My love)
Je sais que tu m'aimes aussi, (I know that you love me too)
Tu as besoin de moi, (You need me)
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie, (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 will die without you)
Et je tuerai pour toi. (And I will kill for you)
