American Girl Lyrics by Carley Ridersleeve

2024

[Verse 1]
Thought I was free like a bird
And so self-assured
With wind beneath my wings
'Til I hit their glass ceilings
I’ve dumbed myself down
To get off the ground
And so the curtains rise
The more that I apologize
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that I could put up a fight
Now I know that this is the life of an American girl
[Chorus]
That's the life of an American girl
What it's like livin’ in her world
That's the life of an American girl
American girl
Life of an American girl
That's the life of an American girl
What it's like livin' in her world
That's the life of an American girl
American girl
Life of an American girl
[Verse 2]
Scroll and compare
Bigger lips, better hair
If I skip lunch today
I might get her smaller waist
They'll put me on trial
When I don't flash a smile
And I ain’t scared to speak my mind
But to men, I’m never qualified
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that I could put up a fight
Now I know that this is the life of an American girl
[Chorus]
That's the life of an American girl
What it’s like livin' in her world
That's the life of an American girl
American girl
Life of an American girl
That's the life of an American girl
What it’s like livin' in her world
That's the life of an American girl
American girl
Life of an American girl
Yeah
[Bridge]
Just a girl with her guitar
Dreamin' she'll be a star
She's countin' up her likes
I guess this is the life
[Chorus]
That's the life of an American girl
What it's like livin' in her world
That's the life of an American girl
American girl (American girl)
That's the life of an American girl
What it's like livin' in her world
That's the life of an American girl
American girl
Life of an American girl
That's the life of an American girl
What it's like livin' in her world
That's the life of an American girl
American girl
Life of an American girl
[Outro]
American girl
American girl
(She's an American, she's an American girl)
Life of an American girl
