[Verse 1]
Checking my lipstick in your aviators
Like a couple of cool kids, the Hit Paraders
The cherry glow of your cigarette

[Refrain]
Don't tell me the world couldn't handle
A good old-fashioned American scandal

[Chorus]
Hold me, baby, hold me like you ain't mine to hold
Ooh, kiss me, baby, kiss me like you don't care who knows
Oh, love me, baby, love me like Kennedy and Monroe

[Verse 2]
Lights are flashing, Main Street paparazzi
You got 'em lining up to watch you want me
Let's one up the rumors

[Chorus]
Hold me, baby, hold me like you ain't mine to hold
Ooh, kiss me, baby, kiss me like you don't care who knows
Oh, love me, baby, love me like Kennedy and Monroe

[Bridge]
Don't tell me the world couldn't handle
A good old-fashioned American scandal
Hold me, baby, hold me like you ain't mine to hold
Ooh, kiss me, baby, kiss me, like you don't care who knows
[Chorus]
Hold me, baby, hold me like you ain't mine to hold
Ooh, kiss me, baby, kiss me like you don't care who knows
Oh, love me, baby, love me like Kennedy and Monroe (Don't tell me the world couldn't handle)

[Outro]
Kennedy and Monroe (A good old-fashioned American scandal)
Ooh, like Kennedy and Monroe (Don't tell me the world couldn't handle)
Kennedy and Monroe (A good old-fashioned American scandal)
Don't tell me the world couldn't handle
A good old-fashioned American scandal
