Nana Adjoa — Carmen

This girl, Carmen, my friend Born safe, dead end She used to talk a lot of, girl stuff Her eager bluff, wasn't quite enough So she defied the night, like a shooting star Only to fall, with her unlucky charm Giving away pieces, of her complete body Little by little, no grace no glory Giving away pieces, of her complete body Little by little Mary was born a virgin, and died a whore Seeking solace to her soul Comfort and money from men Men who’d manage, to ignore So she fell in love with that one son Who already gave away everything Giving away pieces, of her complete body Little by little, no grace no glory Giving away pieces, of her complete body Little by little, no grace no glory My friend Carmen, godsend Born safe, dead end She lost her challenge, she lost her charm Lost hope, for her heart to mend She's in love with a dead man Yeah she's in love with a dead man
