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

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 independent American woman
