	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.
