Nicole Scherzinger - American Girl lyrics
[Nicole Scherzinger - American Girl lyrics]
Uuh uuuh uh
I was born upon the island
A Puakenikeni crawl
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 momma told 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 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
Always sang from my heart
Just an American girl
Tryna' sing something new
Tryna' be something, too
By singing something true
And one day my mom found a new love
He raised me since I was young
A German man from Kentucky
So Louisville became my home
And I was a brown eyed girl
Living in a Southern town
But my momma told me
To never let nobody put me down
With soul music in my veins
And country music in my brain
I could feel it i could taste it
I could hold it in my hand
Made friends who showed the way lauryn Hill
And Lady Day
And they taught me I can be me, free
(so free)
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
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' sing something new
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' be something, too
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' sing something new
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' be something
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
Tryna sing something tryna sing something
I was born upon the island
A Puakenikeni crawl
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 momma told 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 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
Always sang from my heart
Just an American girl
Tryna' sing something new
Tryna' be something, too
By singing something true
And one day my mom found a new love
He raised me since I was young
A German man from Kentucky
So Louisville became my home
And I was a brown eyed girl
Living in a Southern town
But my momma told me
To never let nobody put me down
With soul music in my veins
And country music in my brain
I could feel it i could taste it

Made friends who showed the way lauryn Hill

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
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' sing something new
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' be something, too
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' sing something new
Singing something true
Singing something true
Singing something true
I’m tryna' be something
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
Tryna sing something tryna sing something
