Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two percent, smoke a blem, put your sneakers on
Free ride 'cause the neighbour wants to take you home
Y2K in your bell-bottom jeans
True Religion, you can make them all believe
A predictable pattern, can't help but be drawn to ya
Used to say that I'd never be fooled by the formula
I reminisce on days we didn't have
Now what am I supposed to do with that
[Chorus]
Carmen?
I just wanna pay you attention
Any god would offer you heaven
Oh, I wanna know what that's like
I wanna be wanted like Carmen
Everybody's throwing their heart in
Girl, you're such a beautiful problem
I can't take you off of my eyes
I wanna be wanted like Carmen
[Verse 2]
Brown-skin European with my London eye
I get envious of that vanilla type
You go classic like Coco Chanel
Is it bad I want that for myself?
Five on it, so stunning
Go lightly like you do
Girl, I see your goddamn pleasers
Ain't no mountain you don't move
You crash and I'm the casualty
What about me?
When do I get to be
[Chorus]
Carmen?
I just wanna pay you attention
Any god would offer you heaven
Woah, I wanna know what that's like
I wanna be wanted like Carmen
Everybody's throwing their heart in
Girl, you're such a beautiful problem
I can't take you off of my eyes
I wanna be wanted like
[Outro]
Sportswear, no makeup
Peng and affectionate
Ten, no Photoshop
You got us signing up
Why am I working double just for half of what you got?
I, I wanna be wanted like Carmen
