American Woman
Bring the bacon and I'll put it in the pan
Got my own, baby, life is grand
Every move I make is just a part of my plan
And I do it just because you said I can't
Do I look like
The step-and-fetch type?
I'm a whole lotta grown-ass American woman
Do I look like
The walk-all-over-me type?
I'm a whole lotta strong-ass American woman
I know my worth and who I am
Mister if you're hard up, I can spare a few grand
Hell will freeze over and I'll be damned
'Fore I take orders from any ol' man
Do I look like
The step-and-fetch type?
I'm a whole lotta grown-ass American woman
Do I look like
The walk-all-over-me type?
I'm a whole lotta strong-ass American woman
I'm a whole lotta, show stopper
Mississippi, New York City, you better treat me proper
I'm a whole lotta, you gotta
Recognize a real-ass woman, if you can't, don't bother
I'm a whole lotta, show stopper
Mississippi, New York City, you better treat me proper
I'm a whole lotta, you gotta
Recognize a real-ass woman, if you can't, don't bother
To all my headstrong women
Single mamas with the children
Three jobs and something to prove
Go along and work your way through school
Don't let 'em put you in a corner
'Cause it's a new world order
You're a star, you're under strife
Make 'em salute you like a flag on the fourth of July
(Make 'em salute you like a flag on the fourth of July)
I'm a whole lotta, show stopper
Mississippi, New York City, you better treat me proper
I'm a whole lotta, you gotta
Recognize a real-ass woman, if you can't, don't bother
I'm a whole lotta, show stopper
Mississippi, New York City, you better treat me proper
I'm a whole lotta, you gotta
Recognize a real-ass woman, if you can't, don't bother
I'm a whole lotta grown-ass American woman
American Woman
Bring home the bacon and I'll fry it up
Got my own, baby, life is tough
Every move I make is just a part of my game plan
And I do it just because you said I can't
Do I look like
The submissive type?
I'm a whole lot of independent American woman
Do I look like
The pushover type?
I'm a whole lot of strong American woman
I know my value and who I am
Mister, if you're struggling, I can lend a hand
Hell will freeze over and I'll be damned
Before I take orders from any man
Do I look like
The submissive type?
I'm a whole lot of independent American woman
Do I look like
The pushover type?
I'm a whole lot of strong American woman
I'm a whole lot of showstopper
From Mississippi to New York City, you better treat me right
I'm a whole lot of you better
Recognize a genuine woman, if you can't, don't bother
I'm a whole lot of showstopper
From Mississippi to New York City, you better treat me right
I'm a whole lot of you better
Recognize a genuine woman, if you can't, don't bother
To all my determined women
Single mothers with kids
Three jobs and something to prove
Keep going and work your way through school
Don't let them back you into a corner
'Cause it's a new way of doing things
You're a star, you're facing challenges
Make them respect you like the flag on the fourth of July
(Make them respect you like the flag on the fourth of July)
I'm a whole lot of showstopper
From Mississippi to New York City, you better treat me right
I'm a whole lot of you better
Recognize a genuine woman, if you can't, don't bother
