Nicole Scherzinger - American Girl lyrics

[Verse 1] Uuh uuuh uh I was born upon the island A Puakenikeni [?] My mother was eighteen years old When she had me on her own I didn't know who my father was The young lovers fell apart That's why my mama taught me Never let nobody break your heart We never had much at all But one thing I do recall Everywhere there was music There was music There was music in my ears Never felt that I belonged But I found that every song Could teach me, could reach me See, I always sang from the start [Chorus] Always sang from my heart Just an American Girl Tryna sing something new Tryna be something, too But singing something true [Verse 2] And one day my mom found a new love He raised me since I was young A gentleman from Kentucky So Louisville became my home And I was a brown-eyed girl Livin' in the Southern town But my momma told me To never let nobody put my down Soul music in my veins Country music in my brain I could feel it I could taste it I could hold it in my hand Made friends, and showed the way Nor in here, the lady day And they taught me I can me, free I always sang from the start [Chorus] Always sang from my heart Just an American Girl Tryna sing something new Tryna be something, too But singing something true [Extended Bridge] Singing something true Singing something true Singing something true I'm tryina sing something new Singing something true Singing something true Singing something true I'm tryina be something, too Singing something true Singing something true Singing something true I'm tryina sing something new Singing something true Singing something true Singing something true I'm tryina be something [Chorus] I always sang from the start Always sang from my heart Just an American Girl Tryna sing something new Tryna be something, too By singing something true [Outro] Tryna sing something Tryna sing something
