It's every young boy's fancy
It's there hidden deep in the heart of a man
It's just a feeling
They won't ever understand
They know they gotta have one
A brand new model and it's here today
And don't you know that she's made right here in the U.S.A.
Don't ever stop trying
Don't let her get away
They don't make 'em like they used to
I think they're better than before
It's more than physical attraction
Keeps you coming back for more
She's a home grown beauty
She's born and raised with a mind of her own
And once you find her
You'll never want to leave her alone
She's making you crazy
You can't live without her, she's here to stay
Don't you know that she lives right here in the U.S.A.
They don't make 'em like they used to
They're so much better than before
I'm so tired of hearing - (I'm so tired)
Some people say - (what people say)
Everything is moving much too fast
Things were better in the good old days
Let them have their opinions - (let them have...)
Never gonna change their mind - (they'll never change)
They lived a long time ago
When times were tough
And a real good woman was hard to find
They don't make 'em like they used to
I think they're better than before
It's more than physical attraction
That keeps you coming back for more
They don't make 'em like they used to
They're so much better than before
