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 takin' it too far
Today she'll pay the bills
She won't think about the thrills
That pass away
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
She can barely keep her head
No, she don't owe nobody nothing
And she ain't on the street
But these drinks are getting heavy
Lord, and these tips are getting weak
And she don't understand
Why she can't climb out of the sand
And break away
She's an all American girl
An all American girl
And she'll live and die in this man's world
An all American girl
Her lover never came home
Now 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
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
She's all American
Hey, come on, come on
Well, hello

She wakes up in the morning
