Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're all American girls
And we love the life that we lead
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
We're all American girls
And we love the life that we lead
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
[Verse 2]
The day has finally come
We're reaching out for number one
We worked hard all of our lives
It's a fight just to survive
You'd better get this straight
Wise up before it's too late
We're not threatened by your lies
Or your goodbyes
[Verse 3]
We're all American girls
And we love the life that we lead
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
[Verse 4]
Sometimes the struggle gets rough
You give it all but it's not enough
A vacant job at the top
Don't let 'em tell you that right, you're not
We're not asking to reverse
Roles so long rehearsed
Give us an equal share
That's just fair
[Verse 5]
We're all American girls
And we love the life that we lead
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
We're all American girls
And we love the life that we lead
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
[Verse 6]
All American
All American girls
All American
(All American)
[Verse 7]
We're all American girls
(All American)
And we love the life that we lead
(Wise up before it's too late)
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
[Verse 8]
(Whoa, whoa, oh)
We're all American girls
And we love the life that we lead
'Cause we're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
[Verse 9]
We're all American girls
(Hey)
And we love the life that we lead
(Wise up before it's too late)
We're all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
[Verse 10]
All American
All American girls
All American
All American girls
All American
All American girls
