[Verse 1]
Big stage and blinding spotlight
You gave me this life, so take what you like
Can you taste the tears in my eyes?
You're makin' me cry, you're makin' me cry
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
It's such a shame the price that you pay for it
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
They're screaming your name, it's like you were made for it
[Chorus]
American beauty, I'm everything you need
Come on and use me, baby, yeah
American beauty, love to abuse me
Want me but you still hate me, yeah
I'm not your girl, I'm not your baby
I'm not your girl, you're fuckin' crazy
American beauty, love to abuse me
I'm not your girl, you're fuckin' crazy
[Verse 2]
You want a hot little mess
Who always says yes, a doll that you dress
And you swear you know me the best
You're sick and obsessed, you'll love me to death
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
They're screaming your name, it's like you were made for it
[Chorus]
American beauty, I'm everything you need
Come on and use me, baby, yeah
American beauty, love to abuse me
Want me but you still hate me, yeah
I'm not your girl, I'm not your baby
I'm not your girl, you're fuckin' crazy
American beauty, love to abuse me
I'm not your girl, you're fuckin' crazy
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not your girl, I'm not your baby
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not your girl, you're fuckin' crazy
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not your girl, I'm not your baby
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not your girl, you're fuckin' crazy

wrote the chorus first and loved it then decided a few days later to go back in and rewrite the verses and changed the concept a little, it doesn’t have anything to do with the story of aftercare but i think something i needed to say and let out after the circumstances i was dealing with at the time...
