[Chorus 1]
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me

[Verse 1]
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
All I want to do is play
See the city every day
Pretty party nation
Tell me that you think I'm good
Happy that I make you glad
Cause I don't want to think I'm bad, Gramma
I don't want to think I'm bad

[Chorus 1]
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me

[Chorus 2]
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Don't you know, you don't need a thing?
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me

[Verse 2:]
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Trouble's what feels good to me
Crazy ass since I was three
Now I'm out to get you
But I been better lately, Ma
And I'm in love with everyone
And I don't want to think I'm wrong
Just for feeling pretty

[Chorus 1]
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me

[Bridge]
I want to be the whole world's girl, Gramma
I want to be the whole world's girl
I want to be the whole world's girl, Gramma
Tell me do you think that's wrong?
Don't cry, honey, crazy girl
Don't you know you are the world?
Every time you feel unsure
Try remember what you are

[Chorus 1]
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me

[Chorus 3]
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Honey, don't you know you have everything?
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me

[Chorus 1]
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me

Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
