American Girl Lyrics - Nicole Scherzinger

(Verse 1) 

uuh uhh... 

I was born upon the island 

A puakenikeni crawl 

My mother was eighteen years old 

When she had me own her own 

I didn't know who my father was 

The young lovers fell apart 

That's why my mother taught me 

Never let nobody break your heart 

We never had much at all 

But one thing I do recall 

Everywhere 

There was music 

There was music in my ears 

Never felt that I belonged 

But I found that every song 

Could teach me , could reach me 

See... 

(Chorus) 

I always sang from the start 

always sing from heart 

Just an American Girl 

Tryna sing something new 

Tryna be something, too 

By singing something true 

(Verse 2) 

And one day my mom found a new love 

He raised me since I was young 

A german man from Kentucky 

So Louisville became my home 

And I was a browned-eyed girl 

Livin' in the Southern town 

But my momma told me 

To never let nobody put me down 

Soul music in my veins 

Country music in my brain 

I could feel it 

I could taste it 

I could hold it in my hand 

Made friends and showed the way 

Nor in here, the lady day 

And they taught me I can be, free (so free) 

(Chorus) 

I always sang from the start 

always sing from heart 

Just an American Girl 

Tryna sing something new 

Tryna be something, too 

By singing something true 

(Bridge) 

Singing something true Singing something true 

Singing something true 

I'm tryina sing something new 

Singing something true 

Singing something true 

Singing something true 

I'm tryina be something, too 

Singing something true 

Singing something true 

Singing something true 

I'm tryina sing something new 

Singing something true 

Singing something true 

Singing something true 

I'm tryina be something 

(Chorus) 

I always sang from the start always sing from my heart 

Just an American Girl 

Tryna sing something new 

Tryna be something, too 

By singing something true 

[Outro] 

Tryna sing something 

Tryna sing something
