A wakeup call for the girl
Who has everything
The morning sun
Has a special meaning
She lives a dream that will end
When the sun goes down

She'll be alone, feeling lost
Thinking she's unknown
Ohh

Tell me why you're crying Miss America
Tell me why you're sad
Tell me what's hurting you so bad
I will never leave you Miss America
In your deepest despair, I'm there

Down on the street
She's expecting a limousine
But it's a one way ride tonight
She'll say goodbye with a smile
Without shedding a tear

And when it ends
She'll remember her long lost friends
Ohh

Tell me why you're crying Miss America
Tell me why you're sad
Tell me what's hurting you so bad
I will never leave you Miss America
In your deepest despair, ohh there

A final bow, a final curtain call
A graceful gesture that will fool them all
But I will make you smile again
Don't give it up for any of them
I will be there next to you
When it's over, over, I'll be there
Ohh

Tell me why you're crying Miss America
(Tell me why you're...)
Tell me why you're sad
Tell me what's hurting you so bad
I will never leave you Miss America
In your deepest despair

(Tell me why you're crying Miss America)
Tell me why you're crying
(Tell me why you're sad)
(Tell me what's hurting you so bad)
Was hurting you so bad
(I will never leave you Miss America)
(In your deepest despair)
Ohh, there
