You don't need a reason
You don't need to talk
And if you call, I will listen
Well, I will be where you are

Miss America, she's lost her clothes and thrown it all away
Miss America, no one cares about you anyway
Miss America, I love you today, can I say?

I don't need your excuse
I don't mind who you are
You can be on a postcard
If you want, I'll be far

Miss America, she's lost her clothes and thrown it all away
Miss America, no one cares about you anyway
Miss America, I love you today

'Cause mama's little girl's about to climb a tree
Mama's little girl needs a reason to believe

You, you've brought me right through
You gave me the time to be alone
And who has red, white and blue?
You gave me no right to throw a stone

Well, you don't need the pressure
How about Noah's ark?
I've never understood a cheerleader
It's modern life, and you're a star

Miss America, she's lost her clothes and thrown it all away
Miss America, no one cares about you anyway
Miss America, I love you today, can I say?
Can I say?
