Red Blooded American Girl

See me dancin' in the corner with all my best girlfriends
 We're laughin' and singin', these are the days of our innocence
 All you boys want in our circle but you don't dare break in
 I'm leanin' against the wall thinkin'
 While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
 Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American girl tonight
 'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
 Why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
 A man stands beside me in my mind, his hair has a touch of gray
 Sometimes I just shut my mouth, I know he knows what I'm gonna say
 Then a look comes from his eyes, it's only born of loving years
 Sometimes I open up my mouth and I fight back his tears
 I say
 While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
 Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American girl tonight
 Your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
 Why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
 Oh baby, I'm out of control, don't know which way to run
 Or which way to go
 These days it's getting harder to live
 We all need someone to hold onto
 Dance with me
 I wanna dance with you
 Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
 'Cause your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
 Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American girl tonight
 Your life is just a breath, tonight is just one dance
 Why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
 Why don't you give this red-blooded American girl
 Won't you give me a chance
 Oh oh, oh oh
 Give me a chance
