Darling
Afraid to close my eyes
When I'm going to bed
Afraid to crack the phone down
Over my head
Why are all American girls so rough?
Damn a girl can't every hurt you enough.
Lady (Lady)
Knock me on my knees
And I can't stand up
You've got the look in your eyes
And smack my butt
Why are all American gilrs so rough?
Why do all American girls act so tough?
Why are all American girls so rough?
Darling
Afraid to close my eyes
When I'm going to bed
Afraid to crack the phone down
Over my head
Why are all American girls so rough?
Damn a girl can't every hurt you enough
Lady (Lady)
Knock me on my knees
And I can't stand up
You've got the look in your eyes
And smack my butt
Why are all American girls so rough?
Why do all American girls act so tough?
Why are all American girls so rough?
Jack moves
Digging in my ribs
That ain't no real moves
So baby
Take it easy
Let's try to be friends
Why are all American girls so rough?
Damn a girl can't ever hurt you enough
Lady (Lady)
Knock me on my knees
And I can't stand up
You've got the look in your eyes
And smack my butt
Why are all American girls so rough?
Why do all American girls act so tough?
Why are all American girls so rough?
American girls, American girls
Why are all American so rough?
American girls, American girls
Why are all American girls so rough?
American girls, American girls
Why are all American girls so rough?
