Carmen lyrics by Lana Del Rey

Artist: Lana Del Rey

Album: Born to Die (2012)

"Carmen"

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 'em 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 dyin', I'm dyin'"

She says, "You don't want to get this way

Famous and dumb at an early age

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

Audiotune lies

She's still shinin'

Like lightning, whoa, whoa

White lightning

Carmen, Carmen

Staying up 'til 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 tirin', tirin'"

 

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

Audiotune lies

She's still shinin'

Like lightning, whoa, whoa

White lightning

 

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 favors

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 ta vie

Tu ne peux vivre sans moi

Et je mourrais 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

Audiotune lies

She's still shinin'

Like lightning, whoa, whoa

White lightning

Like lightning, whoa, whoa

White lightning

 

Darlin', darlin'

Doesn't have a problem

Lyin' to herself

'Cause her liquor's top shelf
