Darlin', darlin'
Doesn't have a problem
Lyin' to herself
Cos her liquor's top shelf
It's alarming, honestly,
How charming she can be
Fooling everyone
Telling them she's having fun
She says, "You don't want to be
like me, don't want to 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 lighting
White lightning
Carmen, Carmen
Staying up till morning
Only 17 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 lighting
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 favours
Put your red dress on, put your
lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now the
camera's on
And you're alive again
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 lighting
White lightning

I believe it's "sing your swan song" not "sing your song song." Otherwise your corrections seem to be spot on!
