Lyrics
AMERICAN GIRL (v5)
Guys talk about those foreign gals
with such sophistication
They dream of mademoiselles
with all that red hot reputation
And there are some who claim the best
are Spanish senoritas
They say they?re ?muy caliente?
and can hold their margaritas
But I won?t act like someone else,
Or pretend I?m something more
One thing that?s true about me is
I know what I stand for
CHORUS
I?m . . . an . . . American girl
You can feel my national pride
That?s right, American girl
Not a thing I?ve got to hide
I?m . . . your . . . American girl
I?m simply who I am
come look inside
that?s right, American Girl
not a thing I?ve got to hide
I?m an American Girl
VERSE
Some may wish for Asian girls,
the things they do and say
Some just seem to hope for girls
who?ve come from far away
And others like a gal
who?s got a hint of foreign mystery
But I?m just who I am
Just take a look and you will see
REPEAT CHORUS
From the mountains to the prairies
I?m American all the way
I am right here waiting for you
In the good ol? U.S.A.
REPEAT CHORUS
