Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem.
BLying to herself ’cause her G#mliquor’s top shelf.
B#m B
It’s alarming, honestly, how charming she can be.
BFooling everyone telling G#mhow she’s having fun.

B#m
She says, “You don’t want to be like me.
   BDon’t want to see all the things I’ve seen.”
   I’m Bdying, I’m G#mdying.
B#m
She says, “You don’t want to get this way,
   BFamous and dumb at an early age.”
   BLying, I’m G#mlying.

Chorus:
B#m
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
     She Bgives them butterflies, bats her G#mcartoon F#meyes.
B#m
She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond.
     BAudiotune lies. G#mShe’s still F#mshining
     BLike lightniG#mng, ooh-oohB, white lightG#mningG#m7.    G#m   

B#m B
Carmen, Carmen, staying up till morning.
BOnly seventeen, but she walkG#ms the streets so mean.
B#m B
It’s alarming, truly, how disarming you can be.
BEating soft ice cream, ConeyG#m Island queen.

B#m
She says, “You don’t want to be like me,
   BLooking for fun, getting high for free.”
   I’m Bdying, I’m G#mdying.
B#m
She says, “You don’t want to get this way,
   BStreet walk at night and a star by day.”
   It’sB tiring, tiG#mring.

Baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go.
   F#mThat’s the little story of the Bgirl you know.
C B#m
Relying on the kindness of strangers,
   BTying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favours.
   G#mPut your red dress on, put your lipstick Bon.
   BSing your song, song, now the camera’s on.
   G#mAnd you’re alive again…

B#madd9 B#m7
Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi,
   Badd9Tu as besoin de moi,
