All American Girl lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

She wakes up in the morning
With a pain in her jet black head
A decaf coffee in her hand
And a Marlboro red

She drives down to the office
In her Japanese car

Lyrics Provided By ZoneLyrics.net

With the radio blasting
She dreams of taking it too far

But today she'll pay the bills
She won't think about the thrills
That pass away

She's an all American girl
An all American girl
And she will live and die in this man's world
An all American girl

Her eyes are black as leather
And her hair is Killer red
How could she keep the baby
When she can barely keep her head

She don't owe nobody nothing
And she ain't on the street
But these drinks are getting heavy
And these lips are getting weak

And she don't understand
Why she can't climb out of the sand
And break away

She's an all American girl
An all American girl
And she will live and die in this man's world
An all American girl

Her lover never came home
And it's half past three
Today her best friend told her
He's HIV

Something's gotta give somewhere
Forcing circles into squares
She keeps pushing on

She's an all American girl
An all American girl
And she will live and die in this man's world
An all American girl, hey

She's an all American, hey
She's an all American, hey hey hey
She's an all American girl, baby
She's an all American, hey hey
An all American girl, hey
