[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

Train

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
