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 thirty out of fifty shades of grey

What do you say?

Hey there, big boy

Why don't you come up and see me tonight?

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...
