0:14She wakes up in the morning
0:16With a pain in her jet black head
0:22A decaf coffee in her hand
0:24And a Marlboro red
0:29She drives down to the office
0:31In her Japanese car
0:32With the radio blasting
0:34She dreams of taking it too far
0:36But today shell pay the bills
0:39She won't think about the thrills
0:43That pass away
0:45She's an all American girl
0:53An all American girl
1:00And she will live and die in this mans world
1:05An all American girl
1:15Her eyes are black as leather
1:17And her hair is killer red
1:22How could she keep the baby
1:24When she can barely keep her head
1:29She don't owe nobody nothing
1:31And she ain't on the street
1:33But these drinks are getting heavy
1:35And these lips are getting weak
1:37She don't understand
1:39Why she can't climb out of the sand
1:44And break away
1:45She's an all American girl
1:53An all American girl
2:00And she will live and die in this mans world
2:06An all American girl
2:36Her lover never came home
2:38And its half past three
2:40Today her best friend told her
2:42Hes HIV
2:43Somethings gotta give somewhere
2:47Forcing circles into squares
2:50She keeps pushing on
2:55She's an all American girl
3:02An all American girl
3:09And she will live and die in this mans world
3:15An all American girl
3:26She's an all American
3:30She's an all American
3:34She's an all American girl
3:41She's an all American
3:44She's an all American girl
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 With the radio blasting She dreams of taking it too far But today shell 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 mans 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 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 mans world An all American girl Her lover never came home And its half past three Today her best friend told her Hes HIV Somethings 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 mans world An all American girl She's an all American She's an all American She's an all American girl She's an all American She's an all American girl
