Phone rings , baby cries , TV diet guru dies
Good morning honey
Go to work , make-up , try to keep the balance up
Between love and money

CHORUS : She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her Daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl

Slow dance , second chance , mama needs romance
And a live-in maid
Fix the sink , mow the yard , really isn't all that hard
If you get paid

REPEAT CHORUS

Well she's got her God and she's got good wine
Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline
