Red Blooded American Girl Songtext
von Juice Newton

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
