Only time, only keeps you up at night
You're just getting older, nature is holding
Gravity is giving way
Miss USA, don't you always get your way
Need more eyes to behold, flowers to hold on
Kingdom queen for a day
Miss USA
I'll be alright, you'll be okay
And we're bound to see another day
Miss USA knows exactly what to say
And it's the world that she's holding
Selling her soul, she says
"Where do I sign my name?"
Miss USA
I'll be alright, you'll be okay
And we're bound to see another day
What does the beauty mean on the inside
Only here beneath the eye
Only a little bit older
The eyes of your beholder will shine
Only time, you'd always catches you in time
And this world don't need saving
Eat what you're craving
You have already had your day
Miss USA
I'll be alright, you'll be okay
And we're bound to see another day
Miss USA
I'll be alright, you'll be okay
And we're bound to see another day
