Phone rings; baby cries; TV diet guru lies

Good morning, honey

Go to work; make-up; try to keep the balance up

Between love and money

She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows

Sign her letters with X's and O's

Got a picture of her Mama in heels and pearls

She's tryin' to make it in her Daddy's world

She's an American girl

An American girl

Slow dance; second chance; mama needs romance

And a live-in maid

Fix the sink; mow the yard; really isn't all that hard

If you get paid

She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows

Sign her letters with X's and O's

Got a picture of her Mama in heels and pearls

She's tryin' to make it in her Daddy's world

An American girl

An American girl

Well she's got her God and she's got good wine

Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline

She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows

Sign her letters with X's and O's

Got a picture of her Mama in heels and pearls

She's gonna make it in her Daddy's world

An American girl

An American girl

She's an American girl

She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows

Sign her letters with X's and O's

Got a picture of her Mama in heels and pearls

She's gonna make it in her Daddy's world

She's an America girl, yeah

But she tied her hair up in ribbons and bows

Signed her letters with X's and O's

X's and O's

X's and O's
