You were the apple of the public's eye
As you cut the ribbon at the local mall
The courage of both you and us
How can it be real
We love your body in that photograph
Your home state sure must be proud
The queen of the United States
Or have you lost your crown
Well, aren't you Miss America
Don't you, Miss America
Won't you, Miss America
Our love
Well, are you really who we think you are
Or does your smile seem to wear you down
This girl who you once were
Is screaming to jump out
In the dream that you must live
A disease for which there is no cure
This roller coaster ride you're on
Won't stop to let you off
Well, aren't you Miss America
Don't you, Miss America
Won't you, Miss America
Our love
Miss America, Miss America, Miss America
Miss America, Miss America, Miss America
Well, aren't you Miss America
Don't you, Miss America
Won't you, Miss America
Our love
Well, it's true, just take a look
The cover sometimes makes the book
And the judges, do they ever ask
To read between your lines
In your cage at the human zoo
Where they all stop to look at you
Next year, what will you do
When you have been forgotten
Aren't you Miss America
Don't you, Miss America
Won't you, Miss America
Our love
Miss America, Miss America
Miss America, Miss America ....
