LYRICS

All American Girl

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
She wakes up in the morningWith a pain in her jet black headA decaf coffee in her handAnd a Marlboro redShe drives down to the officeIn her Japanese carWith the radio blastingShe dreams of taking it too farBut today she'll pay the billsShe won't think about the thrillsThat pass away[CHORUS]She's an all American girlAn all American girlAnd she will live and die in this man's worldAn all American girlHer eyes are black as leatherAnd her hair is killer redHow could she keep the babyWhen she can barely keep her headShe don't owe nobody nothingAnd she ain't on the streetBut these drinks are getting heavyAnd these lips are getting weakShe don't understandWhy she can't climb out of the sandAnd break away[CHORUS]Her lover never came homeAnd it's half past threeToday her best friend told herHe's HIVSomething's gotta give somewhereForcing circles into squaresShe keeps pushing on[CHORUS]
