All American Girl Lyrics - Yes I Am - Melissa Etheridge

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 she'll pay the bills 

She won't think about the thrills 

That pass away

[CHORUS] 

She's an all American girl 

An all American girl 

And she will live and die in this man's 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 tips are getting weak 

She don't understand 

Why she can't climb out of the sand 

And break away 

[CHORUS] 

Photos 

Her lover never came home 

And it's half past three 

Today her best friend told her 

He's HIV 

Something's gotta give somewhere 

Forcing circles into squares 

She keeps pushing on 

[CHORUS]
