(Anderson/Berenyi) Carmen tells me what she's done Says she's having fun Wants to be a mom Copper hair and golden smile Sparkles all the while But life can be a trial Carmen'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 scream Hear the things that she's been through Grey and black and blue Life can be so cruel Sit down here and take a drink Tell me about everything And he shrugs and then he winks again Chocolate box and photograph Life is hard and life is tough Carmen smiles and then she laughs again It'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 again Chocolate box and photograph Life is hard and life is tough Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
