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
