歌詞
[Verse 1]
Phone rings, baby cries, TV diet guru lies
Good mornin', honey
Go to work, make up, try to keep the balance up
Between love and money
[Chorus]
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with XXX's and OOO's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryna make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with XXX's and OOO's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryna make it in her daddy's world
An American girl
An American girl
[Bridge]
Well, she's got her God, and she's got good wine
Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline
[Chorus]
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with XXX's and OOO'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
[Chorus]
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with XXX's and OOO's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's gonna make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl, yeah
[Outro]
Well, she tied her hair up in ribbons and bows
Signed her letters with XXX's and OOO's
XXX's and OOO's
XXX's and OOO's
