I do my hair, I paint my nails It pours outside, it never fails So the makeup runs, down my pretty face I'm a muddy mess, a MAC disgrace But when I leave this room tonight I'm gonna look and feel alright 'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster And I'm the pearl I'm a genuine American girl A bonafide beauty in an ugly world My vision of pure femininity Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls I'm everything I hoped to be I look in the mirror and what do I see? That a modest little girl is looking back at me The boys all whistle when I walk by So I toss my hair and wink my eye And when I hit the floor tonight I'm gonna look and feel alright 'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster And I'm the pearl I'm a genuine American girl I'm a rock and roll queen in a hip-hop world My vision of pure femininity Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls I'm everything I hoped to be You think it's vanity Or some insanity But this is no-man's land And I live here everyday So come and dance with me Come take a chance with me I'm only 30 out of 50 shades of grey What do you say? Hey there, big boy Why don't you come up and see me sometimes? And when we hit the floor tonight We're gonna look and feel alright 'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster And I'm the pearl I'm a genuine American girl A bonafide beauty in an ugly world My vision of pure femininity Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls I'm every He-Man's fantasy A feminine fatality You gotta know that I am Everything I want to be, oh yeah I'm everything I wanna be Uh huh, oh yeah
