[Verse 1]
Getting real bored in this sugarfree town
Wanna get high? Do you wanna get down?
Honey I’m home, waiting for you to come
Sauvignon Blanc and a Valium, yum
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, keep talking
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, can I get an amen?
Way out west, Listerine breeze
Baby, only the best
[Chorus 1]
Smells like American spirit
It’s a wonderful world
Smells like American spirit
[Verse 2]
Half moon heart, won't you take me away?
When it gets dark, wanna do what you say
Honey I’m home, waiting for you to come
Bottle of Jack and a Valium, yum
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, keep talking
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, do you like what you see?
Back of your palm, drop dead drunk with a candy crush blonde
[Chorus 2]
Smells like American spirit
It’s a wonderful world
Smells like American spirit
I wanna be your girl
Aah ah, aah ah
I wanna be your girl
Aah ah, aah ah
[Bridge]
I wanna, wanna get my picture on a magazine
So you can see me, I wanna be your
I wanna, wanna get my picture on a magazine
Get me on TV, I wanna be your girl
[Chorus 3]
Smells like American spirit
It’s a wonderful world
Smells like American spirit
I wanna be your girl
Aah ah, aah ah
I wanna be your girl
Aah ah, aah ah
I wanna be your girl
