[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 (Bell-bottom jeans)
True religion, you can make them all believe
A predictable pattern, can't help but be drawn to you
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, Carmen? (Carmen)

[Chorus]
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 (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 it, goddamn pleasers, ain't no mountain you don't move
You crash in, I'm the casualty, what about me?
When do I get to be Carmen? (Carmen)
[Chorus]
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 (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, I wanna be wanted like Carmen
