A wakeup call for the girl who has everything
The morning sun has a special meaning
She lives a dream that will end
When the sun goes down

She'll be alone, feeling lost
Thinking she's unknown

Oh! 
Tell me why you're crying Miss America
Tell me why you're sad
Tell me what's hurting you so bad
I will never leave you Miss America
In your deepest despair
I'm there

Down on the street
She's expecting a limousine
But it's a one way ride tonight
She'll say goodbye with a smile
Without shedding a tear

And when it ends
She'll remember her long lost friends

Oh
Tell me why you're crying Miss America
Tell me why you're sad
Tell me what's hurting you so bad
I will never leave you Miss America
In your deepest despair
Oh, I'm there

A final bow, a final curtain call
A graceful gesture that will fool them all
But I will make you smile again
Don't give it up for any of them
I will be there next to you
When it's over
Over
I'll be there

Oh
Tell me why you're crying Miss America
(Tell me why you're)
Tell me why you're sad
Tell me what's hurting you so bad
I will never leave you Miss America
In your deepest despair

(Tell me why you're crying Miss America)
Tell me why you're crying
(Tell me why you're sad)
(Tell me what's hurting you so bad)
What's hurting you so bad
(I will never leave you Miss America)
I will never leave you! 
(In your deepest despair)

Oh, I'm there

(I'll never leave you Miss America)
(I'll never leave you Miss America)
I'll never leave you
I'll never leave you!
