    Lyrics
    American Dream

    Does she remember when she was seventeen?
    The boys stared when she walked by
    And the girls were discreet.
    Well she didnt notice that the world was at her feet
    All that she could see
    Were the memories that said shed never be
    Beautiful or wanted or received
    Her daddy left when she was nine
    Her mom went out with other guys
    And she dreamed of a time when a boy would think shes
    Beautiful

    CHORUS:
    Shes no ordinary girl
    Shes in the hearts of everyone
    She lives down the street
    And when she smiles at you,
    Shell make you believe
    Theres something more than beauty queens
    Shes an American Dream.

    Does she remember July twenty-three?
    She left the boy that loved her
    cause she wanted to be free
    Well she never knew what love really means
    So she didnt believe
    The boy would really think that she was-
    Beautiful or wanted or received
    She let the boy slip out of her life,
    And she went out with other guys
    And she cried when she realized
    The boy was all shed ever need.

    Cold day in November
    Crowded New York street
    She walked alone to her job-
    Lonely but free
    She stopped at the corner,
    Watched the signal turn green
    And halfway through the cross walk
    She heard a voice that said I think youre
    Beautiful and wanted and received
    She turned and they saw eye to eye
    The boys love had never died
    And they cried
    A second chance to love and she was beautiful.
