Beauty queen, fashion bound, dressed to be seen, not meant to be found by Jimmy Dean at the soda shop. You were there and waiting but he never did show up.
American Girl be brave in this world. Don't settle for a magazine dream.
You went to work to make ends meet in your altered skirt and your blistered feet, got stuck in the industry. You're a girl, in a man's world, longing to free.
American Girl, be brave in this world. Don't settle for a magazine dream. American Girl, be brave and show this world, just what a girl can be. American Girl.
She's a little girl tonight, treat her gently, treat her right, all curled up inside her room, a pillow clutched to her ... woman ...
beauty queen, she's a fashion plate. She's never too early, she's just a little late to find her voice, the vote her choice, stand for what's right, fight the good fight. You got a choice now, don't lose your voice now, hold on baby tight!
American Girl, be brave in this world, don't settle for a magazine dream. American Girl, be brave and show this world, just what a Girl can be ... so free! American Girl!
