Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Since the day they got married
He'd been praying for a little baby boy
Someone he could take fishing
Throw the football and be his pride and joy
[PreChorus]
He could already see him holding that trophy
Taking his team to state
But when the nurse came in with a little pink blanket
All those big dreams changed
[Chorus]
And now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet little, beautiful
Wonderful, perfect all-American girl
[Verse 2]
Sixteen short years later
She was falling for the senior football star
Before you knew it he was dropping passes
Skipping practice just to spend more time with her
[PreChorus]
The coach said, "Hey son, what's your problem?
Tell me, have you lost your mind?"
Daddy said, "You'll lose your free ride to college
Boy, you better tell her goodbye"
[Chorus]
But now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet little, beautiful
Wonderful, perfect all-American
[Bridge]
And when they got married and decided to have one of their own
She said, "Be honest, tell me what you want"
And he said, "Honey, you oughta know"
Sweet little, beautiful
One just like you
Oh, a beautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American
[Chorus]
Now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet little, beautiful
Wonderful, perfect all-American girl
All-American girl
