Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 them she's having fun
[PreChorus]
She says you don't wanna be like me
Don't wanna see all the things I've seen
I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
She says you don't wanna get this way
Famous and dumb at an early age
Lyin', I'm lyin'
[Chorus]
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
Audio tune lies
She's still shining
Like lightning, whoa
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 you can be
Eatin' soft ice cream
Coney Island queen
[PreChorus]
She says, "You don't wanna be like me
Lookin' for fun gettin' high for free"
I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
She says, "You don't wanna get this way
Street walk at night and a star by day"
It's tirin', tirin'
[Chorus]
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
Audio tune lies
She's still shining
Like lightning, whoa
White lightning
[Bridge]
Baby's all dressed up with no where 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
[Bridge]
Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
Tu as besoin de moi, tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
Tu n'peux vivre sans moi
Et je mourrais sans toi, je tuerais pour toi
[Chorus]
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
Audio tune lies
She's still shining
Like lightning, whoa
White lightning
Like lightning, whoa
White lightning
[Outro]
Darlin', darlin'
Doesn't have a problem
Lyin' to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
