She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess If you catch her stealin', she won't confess She's beautiful, she smokes a pack a day, wait that's me, but anyway She doesn't care a thing about that, hey She thinks I'm beautiful. Meet Virginia She never compromises, loves babies and surprises Wears hi-heels when she exercises Ain't that beautiful Meet Virginia Well she wants to be the Queen Then she thinks about her scene Pulls her hair back as she screams I don't really wanna be the queen Her daddy wrestles alligators, Mama works on carburetors Her brother is a fine mediator for the President Well 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 Meet Virginia Well she wants to live her life Then she thinks about her life Pulls her hair back as she screams I don't really wanna live this life She only drinks coffee at midnight, when the moment is not Right, her timing is quite unusual You see her confidence is tragic, but her intuition magic And the shape of her body unusual Meet Virgina I can't wait to Meet Virginia, yeah e yeah hey hey hey Well she wants to be the queen and Then she thinks about her scene Well she wants to live her life Then she thinks about her life Pulls her hair back as she screams I don't really wanna be the queen 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
