(Anderson/Berenyi)Carmen tells me what she's done
Says she's having fun
Wants to be a momCopper hair and golden smile
Sparkles all the while
But life can be a trialCarmen's in a world of pain
Don't cry now for yesterday
Babys' gone but she's okay
Carmen tells me where she's been
Nightmares that she's seen
Makes me want to screamHear the things that she's been through
Grey and black and blue
Life can be so cruelSit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
And he shrugs and then he winks againChocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs againIt's time we started heading home now
I've made mistakes along the way
It makes no sense but I'm okay now
Its happened again
I guess I'll live another day
Sit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
And he shrugs and then he winks againChocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
