Where she's from the land of farmers daughters
The folks all say she's kinda plain
In japan she's one tall glass of water
And she begins to make it rain

In Tokyo nobody knows, she's got a past
She comes on strong goes all night long, she's upper class
2-3-4 give em all what they're asking for

Nobody wants you
Back home in the Midwest
Now everyone loves you
American princess
Nobody wants you
But then you got famous
Now everyone loves you
American princess

She don't care what time it is, she's got no place to be
Everybody wants a piece of U.S. royalty
All the girls are jealous, businessmen are on their knees
American princess conquering the Japanese

All her friends are wondering where she's gone to
They used to treat her kinda mean
Not the kinda girl that you're turned on to
She's never been the butter queen

Her mother said she'd wind up dead in Myanmar
Now if mom could see what she means to me she is a star
2-3-4 give em all what they're asking for

Nobody wants you
Back home in the Midwest
Now everyone loves you
American princess
Nobody wants you
But then you got famous
Now everyone loves you
American princess

She don't care what time it is, she's got no place to be
Everybody wants a piece of U.S. royalty
All the girls are jealous, businessmen are on their knees
American princess conquering the Japanese
Alright!

Nobody wants you
Back home in the Midwest
Now everyone loves you
American princess
Nobody wants you
But then you got famous
Now everyone loves you
American princess

She don't care what time it is, she's got no place to be
Everybody wants a piece of U.S. royalty
All the girls are jealous, businessmen are on their knees
American princess conquering the Japanese
Alright!
