A wakeup call for the girl

Who has everything

The morning sun

Has a special meaning

She lives a dream that will end

When the sun goes down



She'll be alone, feeling lost

Thinking she's unknown



Ohh



Tell me why you're crying Miss America

Tell me why you're sad

Tell me what's hurting you so bad

I will never leave you Miss America

In your deepest despair, I'm there





Down on the street

She's expecting a limousine

But it's a one way ride tonight

She'll say goodbye with a smile

Without shedding a tear



And when it ends

She'll remember her long lost friends



Ohh



Tell me why you're crying Miss America

Tell me why you're sad

Tell me what's hurting you so bad

I will never leave you Miss America

In your deepest despair, ohh there



A final bow, a final curtain call

A graceful gesture that will fool them all

But I will make you smile again

Don't give it up for any of them

I will be there next to you

When it's over, over, I'll be there



Ohh



Tell me why you're crying Miss America

(Tell me why you're...)

Tell me why you're sad

Tell me what's hurting you so bad

I will never leave you Miss America

In your deepest despair



(Tell me why you're crying Miss America)

Tell me why you're crying

(Tell me why you're sad)

(Tell me what's hurting you so bad)

Was hurting you so bad

(I will never leave you Miss America)

(In your deepest despaïr)
