You know I adore you I'm crazier for you Then I was at sixteen Lost in a film scene Waving homecoming queens Marching band playing I'm lost in the lights American glory Faded before me Now I'm feeling hopeless Ripped up my prom dress Running through rose thorns I saw the scoreboard And ran for my life Ah, ah, ah No cameras catch my pageant smile I counted days, I counted miles To see you there To see you there It's been a long time coming but It's you and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "she's a bad, bad girl" (okay!) The whole school is rolling fake dice You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes It's you and me There's nothing like this Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay!) We're so sad, we paint the town blue Voted most likely to run away With you My team is losing Battered and bruising I see the high fives Between the bad guys Leave with my head hung You are the only one Who seems to care American stories Burning before me I'm feeling helpless The damsels are depressed Boys will be boys, then Where are the wise men? Darling, I'm scared Ah, ah, ah No cameras catch my muffled cries I counted days, I counted miles To see you there To see you there And now the storm is coming, but It's you and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "she's a bad, bad girl" (okay!) The whole school is rolling fake dice You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes It's you and me There's nothing like this Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay!) We're so sad, we paint the town blue Voted most likely to run away With you And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I think you should come home And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I think you should come home And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I just thought you should know And I'll never let you (go) 'Cause I know this is a (fight) That someday we're gonna (win) It's you and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "she's a bad, bad girl" Oh, I just thought you should know You should know It's you and me There's nothing like this Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay!) We're so sad, we paint the town blue (paint it blue) Voted most likely to run away With you I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I think you should come home And I'll never let you (go) 'Cause I know this is a (fight) That someday we're gonna (win) Just thought you should know You and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "she's a bad, bad girl" "She's a bad, bad girl"
