Madonna - American Life Radio Edit Without Rap Lyrics

[Refrain]
Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?

[Verse 1]
I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess
I tried to be the best
I guess I did it wrong
That's why I wrote this song

[Break]
This type of modern life, is it for me?
This type of modern life, is it for free?

[Verse 2]
So, I went into a bar
Looking for sympathy
A little company
I tried to find a friend
It's more easily said
It's always been the same
[Break]
This type of modern life, is not for me
This type of modern life, is not for free

[Chorus]
American life
I live the American dream
You are the best thing I've seen
You are not just a dream
American life

[Verse 3]
I tried to stay ahead
I tried to stay on top
I tried to play the part
But somehow I forgot
Just what I did it for
And why I wanted more

[Break]
This type of modern life, is it for me?
This type of modern life, is it for free?

[Refrain]
Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?
[Chorus]
American life
I live the American dream
You are the best thing I've seen
You are not just a dream
American life
American life

[Verse 4]
I tried to be a boy
Tried to be a girl
Tried to be a mess
Tried to be the best
Tried to find a friend
Tried to stay ahead
Tried to stay on top

[Refrain]
Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I going to be a star?

[Break]
Do I have to change my name?
Am I going to be a star?
Do I have to change my name?
Am I going to be a star?
Do I have to change my name?
