Tiffany

Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars
In the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat
But it's soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town

[Chorus:]
Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance
Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind

[Chorus:]
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laa sing!
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laa
Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby

[Chorus:]
New York to east California
There's a new wave coming I warn you
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laa sing!
La-la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la-laa
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
Kkk kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America!

Tiffany Renee Darwish (born October 2, 1971), simply known by her mononym Tiffany, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and former teen icon. She is most notable for her 1987 cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” a song originally recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967. Released as the second single from her eponymous album, Tiffany, the song quickly became a teen anthem. Thanks to an original mall tour, "The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ‘87”, Tiffany found commercial success; both the single and the album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, respectively. The singles “Could’ve Been” and “I Saw Him Standing There”, a cover version of The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There”, followed soon after, with the former also claiming the No. 1 position on the Hot 100.

Tiffany was born in 1971 to James Robert Darwish and Janie Wilson, who divorced when she was very young. She grew up in Norwalk, California.

Tiffany began singing around 1975 when she was four years old and learned the words to the song “Delta Dawn”. After the divorce, she resided with her father, but in her adolescence, she rebelled against his strict Baptist parenting. While attending Leffingwell Christian High School, a group of friends and she behaved in a manner which contravened school regulations; she acknowledged this on Celebrity Ghost Stories in 2012.
