Ladies In The '90s
Lauren Alaina Lyrics

I was born in '94
I was born in 1994.

Daddy drove a beat up Ford
My father drove a Ford car in a bad condition.

Mama made it run on love and music
My mother kept the car running on love and music.

The backseat's where I started singing
I began singing in the car's backseat.

All the songs that got me dreaming
All the songs I heard while growing up inspired my dreams.

I'd scream, "Turn it up," and then I'd lose it
I used to shout to turn the music up and get excited.

I was raised on radio waves (waves)
I grew up listening to the radio.

Where the ladies dominated
Female musicians were very popular on the radio.

Sometimes I close my eyes and just replay it
I like to remember those times and relive them in my mind.

I just wanna feel like ladies in the nineties
I want to experience what it felt like to be a female musician in the 90s.

Turn the dial and find me
I hope to discover songs that represent that era by changing radio channels.

Some Strawberry Wine
I want to find that special song that will evoke memories and emotions.

So I can sing all night long
I want to enjoy singing those songs as much as I can.

Acting like I'm Britney
I will impersonate a famous female musician who was active in the 90s, such as Britney Spears.

Come on baby, hit me
I want to hear another song that I enjoy.

Just one more time, hey yeah
I want to keep listening to the songs that take me back to that era.

Man, I feel like a woman
I feel empowered and confident like the female musicians of the 90s.

I can feel you breathe when you say my name
I feel as though my fans adore me when they call out my name.

Hey, I don't want no scrubs
I have high standards and do not tolerate people who are not good enough.

Need a cowboy to take me away
I am looking for someone to take me away from all the chaos and enjoy life with.

Diva in the living room
I played the role of a diva in my house's living room.

Mama's heels on after school
I saw my mother wearing high-heeled shoes after school.

Learning all my moves on MTV
I discovered various dance moves by watching music videos on MTV.

They weren't afraid to make a statement
Female musicians of the 90s were not shy in standing out or making a point.

That's what I call entertainment
I believe that era's music was the best source of entertainment.

All those women paved the way for me
Those female musicians inspired me to become a singer.

Southern twang
My vocals have a characteristic southern accent.

Teased up bangs
My hairstyle was on-trend, wherein I would tease the upper part of my hair and let it balloon.

I was matching all their lipstick
I copy the makeup styles of famous 90s female musicians.

Close my eyes all the time
I often close my eyes to remember those happy moments from the past.

I wish I could relive it, yeah yeah
I desire to go back to that era again given the chance.

Wearing leopard leotards
I dressed up in stylish leopard leotards that were trendy in the 90s.

Singing about broken hearts
I sang songs that were related to heartbreak and emotions.

Moving on in leather pants so shiny
I was dressed up in shiny leather pants and boots to give off a confident look.

Females were unstoppable
Female musicians were dominating the music industry and inspiring others to follow their dreams.

Can't say that's impossible
It is not impossible for a girl to succeed in the music industry.

My heart will always be stuck in the nineties, yeah
The 90s was an era I will forever cherish in my heart.
