[Verse 1]
She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealin' she won't confess
She's beautiful
[Verse 2]
Smokes a pack a day, no wait, that's me, but anyway
She doesn't care a thing about that, hey
She thinks I'm beautiful
[Bridge 1]
Meet Virginia
[Verse 3]
She never compromises, loves babies and surprises
Wears high heels when she exercises
Ain't that beautiful
[Bridge 1]
Meet Virginia
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well she wants to be the Queen
Then she thinks about her scene
[Chorus 1]
Pulls her hair back as she screams
"I don't really wanna be the Queen"
[Verse 4]
When Daddy wrestles alligators
Mama works on carburetors
And brother is a fine mediator
For the President
[Verse 5]
And here she is again on the phone
Just like me hates to be alone
We just like to sit at home
And rip on the President
[Bridge 1]
Meet Virginia, mmmm
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
[Chorus 1]
Pulls her hair back as she screams
"I don't really wanna live this life"
[Post-Chorus]
No mama
No mama
No mama
No mama
[Verse 6]
She only drinks coffee at midnight
When the moment is not right
Her timing is quite
Unusual
[Verse 7]
You see her confidence is tragic
But her intuition magic
And the shape of her body?
Unusual
[Bridge 2]
Well, meet Virginia
I can't wait to
Meet Virginia
Yeah yeah hey hey hey
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well she wants to be the queen
And she thinks about her scene
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
[Chorus 1]
Pulls her hair back as she screams
"I don't really wanna be the queen"
[Outro]
I, I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna live this
She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealin' she won't confess
She's beautiful
